Predictive Oncology Inc. ( POAI ) shares are blasting higher Thursday after the company announced it is expanding its AI and machine learning driven drug discovery platform to pursue discovery of novel biomarkers. 

The Details:

Predictive Oncology ( POAI ) said its latest biomarker discovery initiative stems, in part, from results obtained in the retrospective ovarian cancer study with UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital. In that study, Predictive Oncology ( POAI ) successfully developed muti-omic machine learning models that identified key features that could more accurately predict both short-term and long-term survival outcomes among ovarian cancer patients as compared to clinical data alone.
