JMI Scholars Receive GOI Patent for AI and Digital Pathology in Oral Cancer Diagnosis

Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) scholars Dr. Tanveer Ahmad, an Assistant Professor, and PhD student Nisha Chaudhary, from the Multidisciplinary Centre for Advanced Research & Studies (MCARS) have recently been awarded a patent by the Government of India. Patent number 556810 has been awarded for their invention title 'A system and method for genomic markers and digital pathology image-based prediction of oral malignant disorders'. 

Their intriguing methodology, developed in collaboration with other partners, uses artificial intelligence (AI) and digital pathology to improve the identification and forecasting of oral cancer. This new technique can analyze tissue images to figure out whether they are associated with oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF), oral leukoplakia (OLL), oral lichen planus (OLP), or oral squamous cell cancer. This invention is set to transform oral cancer detection by making it more affordable and accurate.
