+# Deep Learning for Cancer Therapy [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/skjena/cnnCancerTherapy.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/skjena/cnnCancerTherapy)
+
+[![Grayscale Preview](https://github.com/skjena/cancerTherapy/blob/testing/docs/Poster.jpg)](https://blackrockdigital.github.io/startbootstrap-grayscale/)
+
+## Motivation:  
+Machine learning can be used to perform unsupervised learning on the DNA sequences of patient tumors in order to  identify non-linear features of the tumor DNA that help predict treatment.  
+
+## Goal:  
+To use deep learning to identify patients whose tumor DNA mutations “look similar to” other tumors for which treatments are effective.  
+
+## Platforms: 
+TensorFlow
+
+## Installations:
+Installing Tensorflow: https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/r1.8/install/
