The TIME magazine honoured the Indo-American student Kavya for her attempt to make a difference. This was after knowing about late Sen. John McCain. He had battled glioblastoma an aggressive cancer of the brain. Kavya thus decided to make a difference.

The Harvard University student developed a deep-learning based on the computer system. This could scan tissue slides of patients suffering from brain cancer. It is for differences in cellular alignment, texture, colour, and density. These are specific to the case of the individual person, as quoted by the India West.

The goal of Kavya was to develop therapies that are targeted and unique to the individual. A provisional patent has been awarded for her system. She hopes to commence clinical trials this year. This is in collaboration with Georgetown University’s neuropathologist.

Apart from this, Kavya has also addressed NASA Kennedy Space Centre and at the Smithsonian. She has also addressed many Artificial Intelligence Conferences.
