The event featured presentations by Dr. Zubaida Said Ameen and Dr. Auwalu Saleh Mubarak, researchers at the Near East University Health Operations Research Center, and was moderated by Dr. Berna Uzun, a faculty member at the center.
Dr. Auwalu Saleh Mubarak discussed how AI is revolutionizing the vaccine development process, highlighting its ability to significantly reduce time and costs associated with traditional methods. He emphasized the importance of AI in identifying suitable antigens for less understood pathogens and its potential to streamline the vaccine development stages, from preclinical testing in animal models to clinical trials in human populations.
Dr. Zubaida Said Ameen focused on how AI algorithms can accelerate vaccine design through prediction and optimization strategies, ultimately leading to improved global health outcomes. She noted that while challenges such as data quality, computational resources, and integration with laboratory results remain, advanced AI models could pave the way for personalized vaccines and quicker responses to pandemics in the future.
