Unlocking disease treatment with large-scale research

pharmaphorum

The importance of health data to the life science industry is growing just as rapidly as the technology enabling its capture is advancing. A few decades ago, gathering genetic data on the scale of the 100,000 Genomes Project would have been unthinkable – it was only in 2003 that the entire human genome was mapped.
