Dr. Jennifer Chadwick shares her journey from academia to industry, and the best advice that got her to where she is today.

For decades, high-performance computing (HPC) has played a crucial role in advancing healthcare. Enabled by techniques like next-generation sequencing (NGS), modern computer systems have helped us understand the biology of disease and helped facilitate the development of newer more effective drugs. While once deployed mainly in research, today HPC is edging ever closer to front-line clinical care supporting advanced diagnostics, genetic counseling, and personalized medicine. While core bioinformatics applications aren’t going anywhere, modern medicine is increasingly a big data problem as well. Determining the optimal treatment depends on collaboration, the fusion of genetic data with other rich datasets like MRIs, ultrasound images, and population level studies. Increasingly analytics and AI techniques like machine learning are helping healthcare providers sift through massive amounts of data to make better decisions for patients more quickly and efficiently. For IT organizations, providing a foundation t

Dr. Bradley Perkins develops a digital platform that can estimate personalized ten year mortality risk. In this podcast, he shares with us what this platform is and how it works to protect and improve the health of individuals and families. In the era of personalized medicine, Dr. Perkins explains what the necessary steps to bring this platform to the general public, gives us other personalized medicine examples and how it will affect the cost of medical care.
