Hello! My name is Aaron Abraham, a grade eleven student at Webber Academy, Calgary. I am an avid science fan, participating in science fair since Grade 5. Through the exploration of this topic, I have come upon my main interest in the intersection of health science and machine learning and have applied this knowledge in other areas like the SAS Big Data Challenge. My other passion is geography in which I competed in the Canadian Geographic Challenge placing in the top 5 geography students in Canada for 3 consecutive years. I also love to debate and have competed at provincial competitions. With a variety of interests, I believe CWSF will be an amazing forum for discussion and discovery as I meet like-minded individuals who have the potential to change the future. |
| Aaron Varughese Abraham Predicting Alzheimer’s via L-arginine Metabolites and Ensemble Machine Learnin
Défi: | Innovation | Catégorie: | Sénior | Région: | Calgary Youth | Ville: | Calgary, AB | École: | Webber Academy | Sommaire: | Current methods of diagnosis for Alzheimer’s disease are often expensive and inaccurate. A novel blood-based diagnostic method was developed using the L-arginine metabolite cycle. This was investigated as a potential source of biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease using statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms. This diagnostic tool could be utilized in the medical field to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease in an expedient and effective fashion. |
