Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Through the years, Scott's long term research interest has been in better understanding how and when cells undergo various forms of programmed cell death (apoptosis and necroptosis).After receiving his PhD in Microbiology and Immunology from the University of Ottawa in 2013, he decided to shift his research interest from how programmed cell death shapes the immune system to how cell death is inhibited within cancer cells.He then joined the Leukemia research group at the University Children's Hospital of Zurich (Switzerland), where they developed new genome editing techniques to study the complex ways apoptosis and necroptosis become dysregulated in cells derived from di↵erent patients.Today, Scott is a Research O cer at National Research Council, primary national research and technology organization of the Government of Canada, in science and technology research and development.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
