Cognizant hosted a Tech Day of Pink event in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, featuring Professor Anita Grigoriadis and her team discussing the Node Code Breakers project. This project aims to develop an AI algorithm for breast cancer prognostics. The event highlighted the role of AI in cancer research, acknowledged volunteer efforts in annotating breast cancer images, and celebrated over 420,000 annotations from 6,700 volunteers. Cognizant’s collaboration with the Cancer Bioinformatics Laboratory involves over 3,500 employees, contributing to breast cancer research and prognosis prediction.
