Explainable AI in Nanomedicine: Interpretable Models for Nano–Bio Interactions
Making nanomedicine understandable—one interpretable model at a time.
About This Course
This workshop explores the rapidly growing field of Explainable AI (XAI) in nanomedicine, focusing on how interpretable machine-learning models can unravel complex nano–bio interactions, cellular uptake mechanisms, toxicity patterns, and targeting behaviors. Participants will learn how transparency-driven AI approaches—such as SHAP, LIME, rule-based models, and interpretable neural networks—help scientists understand why nanoparticles behave the way they do inside biological systems. Through structured lectures and conceptual demonstrations, the workshop bridges nanotechnology, data science, and biomedical research to empower evidence-driven, safer, and clinically translatable nanocarrier design.
