In the long effort to match the right medicines to the right cancers, Finnish researchers have offered science a new kind of scout. A machine learning model developed across three universities can predict which drug combinations will most effectively destroy specific cancer cells — with an accuracy that surpasses conventional experimental standards. Where human researchers once faced thousands of untested possibilities, the algorithm narrows the field, pointing toward the combinations most worth pursuing. It is a quiet but consequential shift: letting mathematics guide the search before the la
