A human brain is a very complex organ, and when Alzheimer's Disease moves in, the disease is devastating and fatal. A researcher at the University of Arizona, however, is hoping to change that, and he is using the power of artificial intelligence to identify the disease's cause, as well as potential drug targets.
A human brain is the most complex organ we have, and when Alzheimer’s moves in, the disease is devastating and deadly."I'm hopeful that we can see a treatment," said Dr. Chang. "FDA-approved treatment in five to 10 years from now for Alzheimer’s."
Dr. Chang is using artificial intelligence to identify causes of Alzheimer’s, as well as potential drug targets. "Now is the golden time, now is the golden time," Dr. Chang said. "Finally the AI algorithm is able to catch up with the data."Dr. Chang says in the past a biologist could spend an entire career studying one gene, but now, AI is able to swipe through the whole genome and look at the genome all at once.Many have heard about ChatGPT and how it can quickly write out someone’s homework.
