- This project aims at a robust, fast paced proof-of-concept to unlock the potential of AI in biomedical and health research. It will apply the newly emerging generative AI technology to transform biomedical and health research by enabling virtual clinical trial emulation with synthetic data. The research outcome will address key limitations in both Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) and observational studies.
