Paradigm4 has signed an agreement with 54Gene allowing the latter to use the former’s Reveal Biobank App to explore, characterise and query 54Gene’s African Health Information Ecosystem, which is a curated data source of clinical phenotype and genetic information from which insights can be generated to assist the development of treatments and diagnostics.
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.
Zachary Pitluk, Ph.D., Vice President of Life Sciences and Healthcare at Paradigm4, highlights how real insight comes, not from data collection, but from intelligent data curation, computation, and application.
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
