Reimagining Personalized Medicine: Charlotte Researchers Develop Artificial Intelligence-Cell to Design Precision Interventions
February 13th, 2025

"Kirill Afonin and Brittany Johnson, researchers in the Klein College of Science, with colleagues from the National Cancer Institute and National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, have developed AI-Cell (Artificial Intelligence-Cell) — a first-of-its-kind tool that mimics how immune cells respond to RNA- and DNA-based nanomedicines. Their innovation has the potential to revolutionize gene therapy, making it safer and more personalized."
