# Example 1: Literature review assistance
prompt = """Summarize the recent advances in CAR-T cell therapy for 
hematological malignancies, focusing on efficacy and safety profiles 
from Phase II/III clinical trials in the past 3 years."""

# Example 2: Clinical trial protocol design

prompt = """I have clinical trial results with p=0.045, effect size d=0.3, 
n=120. The 95% CI for the treatment effect is [0.02, 0.58]. How should I 
interpret these findings in terms of clinical significance? What are the 
implications for clinical practice?"""

# Example 4: Regulatory guidance
prompt = """What are the key FDA requirements for accelerated approval 
of oncology drugs? What endpoints are acceptable and what post-marketing 
commitments are typically required?"""

# Generate responses

## ⚠️ Limitations and Ethical Considerations

### Limitations

- 🚨 **Not a substitute for professional medical advice**: This model provides research assistance only, not clinical decisions for patient care
- 📚 **Knowledge cutoff**: Training data may not include the most recent research developments (post-2024)
- 🔍 **Domain boundaries**: Performance is optimized for biomedical interventions; may be less accurate for basic science or non-intervention research
- 🎯 **Specialized focus**: Better at clinical trials and intervention research than laboratory/bench research
- 🧮 **Computational limitations**: Cannot perform actual statistical analyses; provides guidance only
- 🌐 **Language**: English-only; not suitable for multilingual or non-English research contexts

### Ethical Guidelines

#### ✅ **Appropriate Uses**
- Academic research planning and design
- Literature review and synthesis
- Research education and training
- Protocol drafting and refinement
- Statistical planning consultation
- Regulatory guidance overview

#### ❌ **Inappropriate Uses**
- **Clinical Decision-Making**: Do not use for diagnosis, treatment, or patient management decisions
- **Direct Patient Care**: Not intended for patient-facing applications
- **Regulatory Submissions**: Should not be sole author of regulatory documents (human oversight required)
- **Automated Peer Review**: Cannot replace human expert peer review
- **Medical Advice**: Not a substitute for consultation with qualified healthcare professionals

#### 🔒 **Privacy & Security**
- **No PHI/PII**: Never input personally identifiable information or protected health information
- **Confidential Data**: Do not input unpublished proprietary research data without proper safeguards
- **Patient Privacy**: Always maintain HIPAA compliance and patient confidentiality

#### 📋 **Verification Requirements**
- All generated content must be reviewed by qualified researchers/biostatisticians
- Statistical calculations should be independently verified
- Regulatory guidance should be confirmed with official sources
- Clinical interpretations require expert validation

#### 🎓 **Academic Integrity**
- Treat as a research assistant tool, not an author
- Always disclose AI assistance in research methods
- Verify all factual claims and citations
- Original critical thinking required for publication

#### Batch Inference
```python
# Process multiple queries efficiently
prompts = [
    "Explain Phase I trial objectives",
    "What is intention-to-treat analysis?",
    "Define non-inferiority margin"
]

# Batch tokenization
inputs = tokenizer(prompts, return_tensors="pt", padding=True).to(model.device)

# Batch generation
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=256)
responses = [tokenizer.decode(out, skip_special_tokens=True) for out in outputs]
```

### Quality vs. Speed Trade-offs
