Genetically anchored drug target discovery for neglected diseases
There are thousands of common non-communicable diseases (NCDs) that lack safe and effective drugs despite accounting for most health care expenses and years lived with disability. Me and my team will address this unmet clinical need by developing innovative algorithms that generate and integrate evidence from massive scale genomic studies with real-world data based on millions of patients from electronic health records (EHRs) to identify potent drug targets and opportunities for drug repurposing. To achieve this aim, we will 1) harness ethnically diverse biobanks (>500,000 participants) with whole-exome/genome sequencing and EHR linkage powered by deep learning models to gain new insights…
