Ordering “Big Results” from a Federation of Biomedical Knowledge Graphs, Sharat Israni | KGC 2023

Sharat Israni presents the Biomedical Data Translator, a tool used to democratize medical data science. Sharat discusses the challenges of handling extensive healthcare data and the role of the Novelty Factor in identifying new treatments for rare diseases.
Israni highlights the system's potential application in virtual tumor boards for clinical decision support with the goal of empowering individuals to contribute to healthcare research. A public release is anticipated by year-end, emphasizing and cautioning its research-focused nature rather than clinical decision-making.
The presentation shares incredible real-life stories that include a heartwarming anecdote where the system helped discover a novel treatment for a patient's cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) using everyday household items like alcohol-soaked Q-tips.
Watch until the end for a brilliant question-and-answer session with big data and biomedical experts.
Presented by Sharat Israni, NIH Data Scholar; CTO, UCSF Bakar Institute; Dir Rsch Comp, UC Davis Precision Med.
