Neuroscience & Neoplaisa
Artificial Intelligence Research Group
NAIRG, founded in 2022, is an independent research group dedicated to exploring the intersection of neuroscience and AI. Initially established at Hamadan University of Medical Sciences (UMSHA), it has since evolved beyond institutional affiliation, focusing on advancing scientific understanding and applications in these fields. We are independent, do not receive funding, and have formed this group out of passion and perceived necessity.
Our Mission
At NAIRG, our mission is to advance AI-driven research in neuroscience and oncology by integrating machine learning, bioinformatics, and multi-omics data analysis. We aim to enhance the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of neurological disorders and cancers through predictive modeling, biomarker discovery, and explainable AI (XAI). By bridging computational research with clinical practice, we strive to develop innovative, interpretable, and impactful solutions that drive precision medicine forward.
