Health Data Management (Aug. 8) -- A newly developed tool combines different types of genomic data to predict patients’ specific responses to therapeutic drugs. The application was developed by the U. of I. and the Mayo Clinic. “A cloud-based infrastructure was constructed as well as a portal to enable genomic researchers to analyze their data using state-of-the-art machine learning and data mining,” says Saurabh Sinha, a professor of computer science at Illinois. “In parallel, we developed new algorithms for such genomic data analysis.”
