Drug sensitivity predicted computationally With modern high-throughput technologies researchers can measure a multitude of molecular properties from cancer cells. A big question of precision medicine is how computational modelling can be used to predict sensitivity of cancer cells to drugs, and the best cancer treatment. Answers are sought in a study published in Nature Biotechnology. Researchers at Aalto University and University of Helsinki used genomic changes and other measurements in...
