In the evolving era of precision medicine, the capacity to tap into the full potential
of multimodal biomedical data is central to realising precise, personalised clinical
understanding. This study presents a novel deep learning architecture based on
intermediate fusion, a method that integrates heterogeneous streams of data,
including radiological imaging, genomic sequences, and electronic health records,
at a well-chosen mid-layer in the neural network.
Project
This fusion method overcomes the shortfalls of earlier and later fusion methods by

allowing greater inter-modality interactions while maintaining the semantic
consistency of all data sources. By harnessing the complementary nature of the

predictive models. While this work is methodologically novel, it contributes to an
overarching goal of building robust, scalable, and interpretable AIs that enable
data-driven decision-making in today's healthcare systems.

Duration of

the project:
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder that impairs
cognitive functions, posing a significant challenge to healthcare systems
worldwide. Early and accurate diagnosis is critical for effective management and
intervention. However, conventional diagnostic methods predominantly focus on a
single data modality, such as brain imaging or clinical assessments, resulting in
suboptimal diagnostic accuracy and delayed interventions.

This project proposes a novel, multimodal framework to address this gap by

integrating brain MRI scans and clinical biomarkers using advanced machine
learning techniques. The core innovation lies in leveraging Vision Transformers
(ViTs) for extracting complex spatial patterns from brain imaging data while
simultaneously utilizing Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to model structured
clinical information. These complementary features are seamlessly integrated
Project through a cross-attention-based fusion layer, enabling the model to learn intricate
Description: associations between multimodal inputs.

The proposed approach aims to significantly enhance diagnostic accuracy by

capturing both imaging and non-imaging features in a unified framework. The
model's predictive power will be validated using robust performance metrics,
including accuracy, F1-score, and ROC-AUC, with the expectation of
outperforming existing unimodal models.

By adopting this multimodal deep learning strategy, the project aspires to

revolutionize early diagnosis and prognosis of Alzheimer’s Disease, offering a
comprehensive and interpretable diagnostic tool that can be extended to other
neurodegenerative conditions. This innovative integration of state-of-the-art deep
learning methods holds promise for transforming healthcare by enabling more
precise and timely disease detection
