Partnership with Rogers to revolutionize the landscape of telecommunication and network management
The emergence of 5G technology is transforming telecommunications, granting people and industry remarkable capabilities. With research advancements, in the future we could see 5G offer speeds of up to 20 gigabits per second, far surpassing 4G’s capabilities. This speed not only enables lightning-fast downloads, its low latency, as low as 1 millisecond, is ideal for real-time applications like remote surgery and augmented or virtual reality.
GraphNovo: Graph-based deep learning model may lead to highly personalized medicine to treat cancer and infectious diseases
Computer scientists at the Cheriton School of Computer Science are using a graph-based deep learning model to analyze proteins on the surface of cells, which could lead to personalized medicine to treat cancer and infectious diseases.
The researchers developed GraphNovo, a new program that provides a more accurate understanding of cellular peptide sequences, linear chains of amino acids.
University Professor Ming Li tackles cancer with personalized immunotherapy made possible by machine learning
Immunotherapy is a powerful new way to treat cancer, harnessing the body’s natural defences to find and kill cancer cells.
By applying machine learning, researchers at the Cheriton School of Computer Science are working to strengthen this mechanism, making it possible to develop personalized cancer-fighting drugs.
