Berlin - Startup on the rise ✨ Need an incredible example of how #AI solutions can push the boundaries of modern healthcare? Berlin-based startup Lucid Genomics mines previously undiscovered parts of human DNA and translates 100% of genetic
information into valuable insights for better patient care and accelerated drug discovery. In his conversation with our friends at HealthCapital Berlin-Brandenburg and #ai_berlin, co-founder and CEO Uirá Souto Melo talked about the so-called dark genome as well as the research and founder landscape in #Berlin:   ⭐ What is your company about and what it is that you are doing? Basically, there are three things that were mandatory for Lucid Genomics to exist. The first part is that there are new technologies that can sequence DNA at unprecedented levels. Now we can extract the information that we were missing on the dark genome so far. The second part is that DNA is very complex and we needed the help of AI. Now, with deep learning models we can extract the information that is hidden in the DNA and actually make sense of it. And the third part is the knowledge about the dark genome: What exactly is in there? What kind of information can we extract? And how can we understand why people develop specific genetic diseases and cancers? So, our expertise in the combination of these three things – new sequencing technologies, advances in AI and the knowledge about the dark genome – is the reason we were able to build Lucid genomics.    ⭐ Data privacy is a major concern in the field of genomics. How does Lucid Genomics protect patient data and ensure compliance with regulations?    To create our machine learning tools we work with anonymized data – so we don’t know whose DNA we are looking at. In this sense, any information we can get from individuals’ DNA, can not be traced back to them, which is in accordance with GDPR and other regulations. One example is that our cloud-server is hosted in Germany.   ⭐ Is there a reason why you set up Lucid Genomics here in Berlin and what’s your impression of the local AI ecosystem? We were already based in Berlin and were very well connected with different resources and other AI startups. Berlin is definitely a hub for AI startups, for example the successful startup Aignostics from Charité is also based here in Berlin. There are also a lot of experts in AI at Freie Universität Berlin and Humboldt Universität whom we are in close contact with. On top of that, we are now one of six companies that became part of K.I.E.Z. Künstliche Intelligenz Entrepreneurship Zentrum which is located in Berlin. Based on our experience, Berlin is definitely the best place for AI startups in all of Germany.   To get an in-depth view of Lucid Genomics, read the full interview here  ▶ https://lnkd.in/etaa-XSt 🔬 ⚕
