UNR Professors Lead $1M Medical AI Research Project

Assistant Professor Ankita Shukla and Professor George Bebis from the University of Nevada, Reno are leading a $1 million research initiative ^[1]. The National Science Foundation funded this project to enhance the reliability of artificial intelligence in real-world clinical environments ^[1]. Researchers aim to create safer and more equitable clinical AI tools for healthcare providers ^[1]. The project focuses on three specific medical applications to ensure better diagnostic accuracy ^[1]. These areas include breast cancer detection through mammography, medical text analysis, and sleep disorder diagnosis ^[1]. This research addresses the critical need for dependable AI systems that can handle complex clinical data ^[1].
