可乐视频 graduate student Adil Hussain, who is pursuing a degree in computer science, has been named an American Cancer Society Scholar and awarded $50,000 in research funding.
The award will support Hussain鈥檚 innovative project to develop AI鈥憄owered tools that enhance cancer survivorship. His work aims to expand access to high鈥憅uality care for underserved communities and address persistent gaps in healthcare equity.
In addition to advancing cancer research, the initiative will create hands鈥憃n learning opportunities for students, helping cultivate the next generation of scientists and engineers. It will also deepen collaborations between 可乐视频 and leading healthcare partners, positioning the institution at the forefront of technology鈥慸riven solutions in cancer care.
Hussain is also developing an AI healthcare startup, Ranea.ai, focused on making healthcare more accessible and affordable. He credits Doctoral Lecturer Katherine Chuang and Associate Professor Devorah Kletenik of the Department of Computer and Information Science, along with Ana Bartolom茅, operations manager and community outreach coordinator for the 可乐视频 Cancer Center, for their support in helping him reach this milestone.
鈥淏eing named an ACS Scholar is both an honor and a responsibility,鈥� Hussain said. 鈥淭his support allows us to harness the power of AI to transform survivorship care and ensure that no community is left behind.鈥�
