Project Utilizing Artificial Intelligence To Analyze T1D Heterogeneity
The lab uses AI programs to look at pictures of pancreas tissue from people with type 1 diabetes. Students will compare the computer analysis to hand‑counting to see if the AI is faster and more accurate at finding damaged cells and immune cells.
