Listen now | It turns out, you can do quite a lot. Jud Schneider is the CTO of Nashville Biosciences. I reached out to him to talk about their collaboration with Amgen and Illumina to sequence 35,000 African-American genomes. How is that possible? Nash Bio (owned by Vanderbilt University Medical Center) has about three and a half million de-identified health records. About 10% of those have consented DNA tied to those records. This is a treasure trove of data for pharma and AI companies to uncover patterns and develop new therapies.
