Who We Are

Welcome to Gap-App, a cutting-edge web platform developed to empower both patients and physicians by providing personalized survival predictions for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Our mission is to bridge the gap between complex medical data and actionable insights, making advanced research tools accessible to all.

Our Vision
At Gap-App, we envision a world where technology can directly support informed decision-making in healthcare. We are dedicated to advancing precision medicine by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to improve patient outcomes, tailored to individual genetic and clinical profiles. Our goal is to deliver sophisticated yet user-friendly tools that facilitate collaboration between patients and healthcare providers, ultimately improving survival outcomes for those battling PDAC.

Our Team
We are a multidisciplinary team of researchers, clinicians, data scientists, and bioengineers with expertise in oncology, AI, and bioinformatics at the University of Toledo. Led by Professor Jasmine JingYuan Liu, who holds a primary appointment in the Department of Medicine with joint appointments in the Departments of Cancer Biology and Bioengineering, our team is at the forefront of developing innovative tools in cancer biology and precision medicine. Supported by multiple grants and collaborations, our research demonstrates a strong commitment to improving cancer survival through groundbreaking scientific advancements and practical applications.
