  MiCRC is a project that uses artificial intelligence to support the early detection of colorectal cancer through the analysis of microbiome data. By studying the composition of microorganisms in a simple fecal sample, the system helps identify individuals at higher risk of colorectal cancer or pre-cancerous lesions which supports earlier and more targeted diagnosis.
