Title:

Development of transfer learning methods for diagnostic application of lipido/metabolomics

Agreement Number:

969644

Agreement Value:

$320,397.00

Agreement Date:

Mar 25, 2021 - Feb 29, 2024

Description:

This Project is a collaboration between NRC and the University of Victoria (UVic) to develop Transfer Learning methods that utilize a large dataset for healthy patients with the aim of developing a model for the analysis of smaller patient populations. In this way, it will provide a base model for early personalized-diagnosis that is accurate across different patient subpopulations. The Project will focus on two neurodegenerative diseases - Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. The transfer Learning model will be used for the development of sex and race optimized early diagnostic methods for Alzehimer's and Parkinson's disease.

Organization:

National Research Council Canada
