Variants of Unknown Significance (VUS) remain a major challenge for interpreting genomic data. @junglainc is working to advance our ability to make sense of our DNA.
ML combined with domain knowledge can push way beyond what ML can do alone. @junglainc combines ML with several other methods, including insights from biophysics, cellular engineering, and distributed systems, to make considerably more accurate predictions of genomic variants.

10+ new tests *each day* in US, yet vast majority of reported variants are still not understood: ~95 unknown per known disease-causing variant in most modern tests! We need tech for *computational* clinical genetics & genomics interpretation...and @junglainc can help!

HPE and biotech startup @junglainc announce challenge to enable real-time, personalized medical care for patients under Tech Impact 2030. Read more: hpe.to/6004EESEm
We are delighted to be working with @HPE to bring state-of-the-art #biophysics and memory-driven computing into quantitative, mechanistic support for #precisionmedicine! With 250x speed-ups (48TB RAM) patients can receive the most advanced support on-demand. #ai #beyondsequencing
Our genes make us who we are, but genetic variations are also a challenge to clinical care. With Memory-Driven Computing, @HPE and @junglainc hope to accelerate research aimed at identifying the correlation between our genes and disease. hpe.to/6007EEUix #HPEDiscover
