Published at MIT URTC and built a clinical-grade cancer detection model at 15
Ansh produced two major research projects at once. His Parkinson's disease work on biomechanical interventions for improving motor outcomes was accepted at MIT URTC, an IEEE-affiliated conference. His second project trained a gradient boosting classifier on 7,240 TCGA samples using five DNA methylation biomarkers, reaching 98.2% sensitivity and an AUC of 0.983 for non-invasive lung cancer detection.
