Like all researchers, nurse scientists design studies, accumulate data, and publish their findings. Their concentration in nursing means that they’re focused on patient needs, perspectives, and outcomes. Whereas a medical doctor might study how a drug is working, a nurse scientist may take a more holistic view of how a treatment affects a patient’s and their family’s quality of life.
Researchers MSK and their collaborators at Mount Sinai have developed an artificial intelligence-based model to predict who will benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors using only routine blood tests and clinical data.
A generous gift provides a major boost to translational research at MSK.
