In this episode of Next Gen in 10🎙️, Sabrina chats with Dollina Dodani, a PhD candidate in Bioinformatics at UBC. Under the supervision of Dr. Aline Talhouk, Dollina is exploring how the vaginal microbiome 🧫 could be used to improve early screening and detection of endometrial cancer. She shares how she’s using machine learning and transfer learning to build a “General Vaginal Microbiome Classifier” — a computational tool that could transform how we diagnose gynecological diseases.
