Professor Musa Mhlanga’s UCT lab, in collaboration with experts in artificial intelligence are working on products that combine genomics, deep learning and clinical data to make precision oncology more affordable and accessible to South Africans. This will be followed by making precision gene-drug association testing available to physicians, together with supplementary counselling and advice. One example is at UCT where the Biomedical Translational Research Initiative, (BTRI), is about to produce a rudimentary product to expand and enhance existing cancer treatment options.
