CardioKG nutzt einen Wissensgraphen, um MRT-Bilddaten strukturell mit Genetik zu matchen. Das Ziel ist Drug Repurposing: Rheuma-Mittel werden basierend auf visuellen Merkmalen gegen Herzinsuffizienz identifiziert. Das senkt Entwicklungszyklen drastisch.

In light of the latest "race science" genetics thing, I've taken some time to expand the #Wikipedia article on #UKBiobank - to collect some of the criticisms that have been raised over the years but that seemed quite absent.
