Despite hundreds of published models for cancer drug response prediction, none are used in clinical practice.

Why?

In our preprint, we outline key challenges and introduce a living benchmark to help the field move forward.

Check out the thread by my co–first author @judith-bernett.bsky.social:
🧬🖥️So excited to show you the outcome of @pascivers.bsky.social and my latest project: "From Hype to Health Check: Critical Evaluation of Drug Response Prediction Models with DrEval" doi.org/10.1101/2025.05.26.655288, published with M. Picciani, M. Wilhelm, K. Baum & @itisalist.bsky.social.
