Dr. Rachel Karchin, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering and core faculty member of the Institute for Computational Medicine, is featured in the winter 2015 edition of The Johns Hopkins Whiting School’s Engineering Magazine. “Pinpointing Cystic Fibrosis Severity” focuses on research in Dr. Karchin’s lab towards predicting the severity of individual’s likely symptoms of cystic fibrosis from their genetic code.

As stated in the article, “The researchers have used a large array of clinical and genetic data from CF patients to “teach” the Karchin lab computer algorithm to think like a doctor—making highly accurate diagnoses of specific symptoms and disease severity, based on the presence of these rare CFTR mutations.”
