RECOGNIZING SRIKAR KARRI, CONGRESSIONAL APP CHALLENGE WINNER
(Mr. LUTTRELL asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. LUTTRELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the
Congressional App Challenge winner of Texas' Eighth Congressional
District, Srikar Karri.
A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of meeting Srikar and learning
about the app that he created. I can assure you, it is nothing short of
absolutely amazing.
[[Page H3351]]
Srikar's app, OncoGAT, is an AI system that can identify types of
breast cancer and generate a treatment plan in a matter of seconds. He
also built a companion tool that analyzes patient reports and provides
Molecular Tumor Board-level recommendations to neurologists.
What is really inspiring is the reason behind the app. He noticed a
problem. Harris County reports more new breast cancer cases than any
other county in the State of Texas, with over 2,200 each year. It is
not often you see someone at Srikar's age who has the unique ability to
combine his God-given talent and his desire to help others.
Mr. Speaker, I thank and encourage Srikar Karri to go forward and do
great things. On behalf of the Texas Eighth Congressional District, I
congratulate Srikar and his family on the outstanding work. I look
forward to hearing about his future accomplishments.
