ARKANSAS: NIH, Google, University of Arkansas to Collaborate on Biomedical Research Cloud-Based Module Development
University of Arkansas researchers will team up with Google software engineers and NIGMS in an effort to create learning modules on artificial intelligence and machine learning applications in biomedical research.
The university secured a $140,135 grant to help address the computational requirements of AI-focused studies with the use of cloud computing technology.
Justin Zhan, a data science professor at U of A, will utilize cloud modules his team created to equip and train biomedical researchers to simplify data analysis for various types of medical and scientific images.
Zhan is working closely with Larry Cornett, director at the Arkansas IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) and EPSCoR/IDeA Foundation Board member, and associate biomedical engineering professor Kyle Quinn on the project.
