Objectives/Goals: This study aimed to investigate the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in translational science, including personalization of interventions and drug development. Methods/Study Population: A comprehensive literature search was conducted via PubMed, the Cumulative Index for Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Cochrane Library, Medline, and Web of Science. The risk of bias in the eligible studies was assessed using the risk of bias in nonrandomized studies. Data were systematically extracted and analyzed. Results/Anticipated Results: The literature search yielded 2129 records, from which 20 studies that met the eligibility criteria were included. Meta-analysis demonstrated the high specificity of AI-based diagnostics, reassuring the reliability of AI. Furthermore, AI applications significantly improved biomarker identification through machine learning algorithms, enhancing prognostic accuracy and treatment personalization. Moreover, AI showed enhanced diagnostic precision with high sensitivity and specificity in cancer detection, further validating its role in healthcare. AI-driven risk stratification was used in chemotherapy decisions. Discussion/Significance of Impact: This study highlights the transformative power of AI in translational oncology research with applications in drug development and personalized patient care in cancer treatment and research.
