Well one thing is the teen in question probably has little to no exposure to a cohort of humans who have fungal pneumonia to test this on.

This is what I was wondering too. To train a model you need lots of data. How do you get it for such a project?
You would partner with doctors at a research institution that had lots of patients of this type, and the doctors would need to know how to run a clinical trial. But realistically, you would do this in any number of ways using existing samples before running a trial. Tissue samples are fairly easy to get.
