More than 20 years since the completion of the Human Genome Project, researchers continue to develop and refine processes in the field of genomics to better understand human health.
Such research also impacts the growth of precision medicine, also known as personalized medicine, which aims to treat patients by considering their specific genetics, environment and lifestyle. It’s part of an industrywide shift as providers adopt a more holistic approach to care, taking into consideration a patient’s social determinants of health, for instance, among other factors.
There’s still more work needed before doctors can prescribe medicine tailored to a patient’s genetically determined needs, but advancements in computing and analytics are helping researchers speed up certain processes.
At the NVIDIA AI Summit in downtown Washington, D.C., researchers discussed how accelerated computing has transformed the mobility, access and storage of their work for the better, allowing it to reach a wider network of organizations and partners.
