In a world where cancer remains one of the most complex and elusive diseases, a Stanford scientist is helping to redefine how we understand—and potentially conquer—it. Dr. Sylvia Plevritis, a professor at Stanford University and a pioneer in biomedical data science, is advancing a new frontier in cancer research by combining artificial intelligence with tumor biology. Her work centers around what she refers to as the “cellular neighborhood” inside tumors—a concept that goes beyond the genetic profile of a cancer cell. Dr. Plevritis’s work exemplifies the synergy between biomedical science and cutting-edge computational models.
