Precision medicine is poised to transform healthcare, with biobanks being identified as a key enabler to bring it to fruition by 2030 by putting new, extended datasets at the disposal of pharmaceutical researchers and healthcare professionals. — by Marilyn Matz
Paradigm4’s REVEAL Integrative Analytics platform enables Alnylam Pharmaceuticals to discover novel, genetically-validated drug targets from population scale biobank genotype-phenotype datasets and underlies the pace and productivity of Alnylam’s RNAi therapeutics pipeline.
Single-cell technologies have positioned themselves at the forefront of biomedical research. These platforms allow researchers to bypass the uncertainties of bulk data and instead interrogate biological systems at a level of detail that was previously unreachable. But the value of these systems risks being impaired by bottlenecks in data analysis
Over the past 5 decades or so, the growing understanding that RNA can influence protein function through routes other than direct translation has opened the prospect of discovering small molecules for tackling diseases in novel ways.
