Doctoral student uses machine learning to transform gene therapy | UNC-Chapel Hill

The future of gene therapy may not lie in the lab bench but in the algorithm. At UNC-Chapel Hill, chemistry doctoral student Kelvin Idanwekhai is using machine learning to transform how viruses — the microscopic couriers of genetic medicine — are purified, making the process faster, cheaper and more precise. He works with tools designed to help scientists explore complicated problems efficiently, especially when they have too many variables to t…
