GLEN COVE, NY — The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) was awarded $2 million in funding, U.S. Congressman Tom Suozzi (D—Nassau, Queens) announced.The funding will help establish the Next Generation Artificial Intelligence Center for Advanced Cancer Diagnostics and was administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.Suozzi secured the funding in 2022 for Fiscal Year 2023, his office said. This week, Suozzi joined Dr. Bruce Stillman, president and CEO of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, to tour the new supercomputer storage infrastructure system at the laboratory."The groundbreaking work at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, combining neuroscience with AI, is truly remarkable," Suozzi said in a news release. "I am proud to have played a pivotal role in securing a $2 million NIH grant to help establish computational modeling to further AI-based diagnostic and predictive tools for advanced cancer diagnostics. Community Project Funding (CPF) grants, such as this one for Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, are not only furthering advancements in AI diagnostics but simply saving lives. We must work together to continue supporting cutting-edge research such as what is happening right here at CSHL."The Next Generation Artificial Intelligence Center for Advanced Cancer Diagnostics is leveraging advances in AI to view cancer cells as they interact with healthy tissue. CSHL is at the "forefront of this research," Suozzi said. He called the supercomputer-powered AI "critical" in the fight against cancer. This state-of-the-art technology requires vast amounts of data storage, the cost of which has been offset by the CPF grant secured by Suozzi. "We are extremely grateful for the support of our federal delegation in championing our growth efforts," Stillman said. "Senator Chuck Schumer and Representative Tom Suozzi’s leadership has been critical in securing funding for the advancement of science at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. This Center represents the future of cancer research and will greatly assist in our battle to understand the second deadliest killer in the U.S."The article Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Receives $2M Grant appeared first on Huntington, NY Patch.
