How Can Machine Learning Make Medicine More Personal? - With Prof. Yoram Louzoun

How do you find one matching bone marrow donor among millions of candidates,  and can a model flag a pregnancy at risk before the symptoms appear? 

In this episode of the Dangoor Center for Personalized Medicine podcast, Dr. Sharon Goldman hosts Prof. Yoram Louzoun, a researcher in mathematical biology, bioinformatics and machine learning at Bar-Ilan University and the Dangoor Center for Personalized Medicine. 

Prof. Louzoun explains how machine learning can uncover patterns in complex biological and medical data. He discusses algorithms that search among millions of bone marrow donors, predict the risk of pregnancy complications and analyze the microbiome. 

The conversation also explores the limits of medical AI, the need to test models across different populations, and the long journey from a promising scientific idea to a tool that can improve clinical care.
