Penn Undergrads Help Dr. Malek Kamoun in Efforts to Improve Kidney Matching
Penn Path & Lab Professor Dr. Malek Kamoun and Dr. Ryan Urbanowicz of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center are developing machine learning strategies to improve matching in kidney transplants and decrease the risk of recipient graft failure. This summer, they received help from three Penn students through the Penn Undergraduate Research Mentoring Program.
