INTRePID project funded by NFR

Very pleased that the Norwegian Research Council will fund our project “Intelligent systems for personalized and precise risk prediction and diagnosis of non-communicable diseases” as part of its IKTPLUSS initiative.

The aim of this project is to create computer methods for risk prediction and diagnosis of non-communicable diseases using multi-omics data, by developing, implementing and validating novel algorithms for structure learning and inference in large-scale, multi-organ causal Bayesian gene networks. The project will integrate unique multi-omics data from three Nordic studies for a proof-of-concept application in cardiovascular medicine:

• The Stockholm-Tartu Atherosclerosis Reverse Networks Engineering Task (STARNET) study
• The Age, Gene/Environment Susceptibility – Reykjavik (AGES-RS) study
• The Hordaland Health Studies (HUSK)

The project partners are:

• Pekka Parviainen
• Anagha Joshi
• Rolv Terje Lie
• Grethe Seppola Tell
• Pieter Audenaert
• Johan Björkegren
• Valur Emilsson
