Leila Pirhaji: The medical potential of AI and metabolites (2019x247)

Air date: Oct 29, 2019

Biotech entrepreneur and TED Fellow Leila Pirhaji shares her plan to build an AI-based network to characterize metabolite patterns, better understand how disease develops -- and discover more effective treatments.
