When Meghna's mother was diagnosed with ALS, she wanted to better understand the disease.

That journey led her to @CoulterBME, where she studied connections among #ALS, #AlzheimersDisease, and frontotemporal #dementia.

Meghna Iyer was determined to understand the disease hurting her mother. She joined a lab in her first year and used AI to analyze millions of papers — uncovering connections between ALS, Alzheimer's, and frontotemporal dementia. This new information could help researchers study the diseases together instead of separately.

Her mother passed away before watching her daughter receive her diploma, but Meghna's work lives on as the foundation of a new platform — SemNet Explorer — that allows researchers to analyze scientific literature the way she did... #WeCanDoThat 🐝 | https://t.co/pyMvSEUv7E
