Supervisory Team
Principal Supervisor: Dr Shivashankar Hiriyur Nagaraj
Associate Supervisor: Adjunct Associate Professor Harsha Gowda
Mentoring Supervisor: Professor Derek Richard
Project description
Mayur’s project aims to identify origin of cancers of unknown primary. For this, he is using deep learning and gene expression data. Mayur’s project also involves explainable AI to identify model driving genes. These genes would be the minimal number of gene required to locate origin of CUP.
