Manaus population seemed to have reached herd immunity. However, given the massive transmission of the so-called Brazilian VOC, it was overwhelmed by the 2 and 3 COVID-19 waves.

Studying and modeling the mutational landscape of SARS-CoV-2 is of paramount importance given the urgent need to predict whether anti-COVID-19 vaccines will be effective or not on the so-called variants of concern (VOCs).

Including compounds able to fight future virus variants could end the pandemic.

What we have achieved

WHAT WE HAVE DONE SO FAR: IN SILICO TO IN VITRO

We have already successfully crystallized an insulin sequence, with an excellent resolution, one of the highest obtained results. This enables us to shed more light on the mechanisms of insulin action at a cellular and molecular level, studying its genetic variants and the primary pathogenic mechanisms leading to diabetes.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex, multi-factorial and multi-system autoimmune disease, which imposes a dramatically relevant clinical and societal burden. Steroids (including methylprednisolone) represent the gold-standard option in terms of pharmaceutical treatment, even though their administration can result in side-effects, also serious and life-threatening ones (like malignancies, immune dysregulation/impairment and metabolic syndrome). Molecules obtained and extracted from helminths can be as effective as steroids, if not even superior in terms of pharmacological efficacy, sparing steroid doses and curbing the likelihood of developing severe adverse events. Among the different molecules,

tuftsin

phosphorylcholine appears to be particularly intriguing in that it finely tunes and modulates several immunological cascades and pathways. Utilizing a murine model of SLE nephritis (lupus-prone

NZBxW

/F1 mice) we were able to demonstrate the effectiveness of this novel helminth-based compound. Proteinuria grade, levels of anti-dsDNA autoantibodies and splenic cytokines (like pro-inflammatory cytokines interferon IFN-γ, interleukin IL-1β and IL-6) significantly decreased after administration of

phosphorylcholine, whereas the concentration of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 increased. Summarizing,

phosphorylcholine seems to be a promising pharmacological treatment, even though the investigations conducted so far are preliminary and further research, including randomized clinical trials, is warranted

Optimization Tool for Omics

The Problem

A multitude of instruments is available in omics and genomics laboratories around the world and it's difficult to get uniformity in datasets. This is one of the biggest problems when it comes to applying AI to aggregate data or simply comparing aggregate data.

Data we are dealing with tend to be complex, big, and scattered. Consequently, solution patterns are often lost in multiple big foggy data clusters.

Most research procedures take a long time to complete, and the results are generally poorly organized. Hence, it takes extra time and resources to run formal algorithms.

The Solution - 1

There are three ways to solve this limiting factor

build a tool capable of harmonizing different data sets (third party management)

create of a platform that allows scientists and researchers to enter and access data in a customized database that has already been structured

create an AI-OS that mediates between these two approaches

The Solution - 2

The BDM embedded in AI4Omics is five to one hundred times more effective than typical parallel programs. We can eliminate errors and bad syncs with enhanced computational power for quicker autonomous algorithms.

In addition to this, we can organize and format heterogeneous data from a variety of sources and store them efficiently in several databases.

It represents a new step in parallel programming, deep learning, reinforcement learning, and machine learning providing new opportunities in science

DNA sequencing,

big data analysis,

autonomously generated algorithms,

Executive Summary

Ai4Omics' team has a long experience in parallel programming, deep learning, and genomics, creating new possibilities for achieving more significant results in science in general: simulations, DNA sequencing, big data

Extrapolation Tool for Omics

An essential feature of AI4Omics

The platform can run both on high-standard commercial computers and supercomputers.

he operator inserts data into our cyber-secure environment, and AI4Omics generates machine learning algorithms that classify, organize the data, forming new data aggregates and structures. The second step is the “hunt” in these classes of patterns useful to create new therapies, drugs, and treatments.

Once we have reached a sufficiently big cluster of data, we can abstract a virtually infinite number of artificial genomes, delivering preventive cures to the real world even before the critical point of illness has arisen. (Predictive Medicine)

OMICA, a platform for genomic analysis

Applied to African descendent patients.

To face the21st century challenges

Health management Africa needs not only its

Own genetic library but also a calibrated set of genetic tools.

Lately, there have been lots of efforts in creating

libraries of genetic information about the population of Africa.

Some projects have worked on how genetic mutations among Africans contribute to conditions like sickle-cell disease and hearing impairments utilizing a limited number of genomes.

Case Study – Cont.

African genes hold a wealth of genetic variation, beyond that, observed by

scientists in Europe and elsewhere.

Too little of the knowledge and applications from genomics has benefited the global south because of inequalities in healthcare systems.

Leading causes of such inequality are high costs in accessing to non-African institutions and small local research workforce due to lack of funding.

Only about 2% of the genomes mapped globally are African, and a good proportion of these are African American. This comes from a lack of prioritizing funding, policies, and training infrastructure, but understanding genetic medicine is partial. And this has enormous consequences.

For example, estimates of genetic risk scores for people of African descent that predict, say, the likelihood of cardiomyopathies or schizophrenia can be unreliable or even misleading using tools that work well in the West or Asia.

The number of three million is the minimum to accurately map genetic variations across Africa, considering that Africa has 1.3 billion inhabitants.

This also affects the variety of diagnostic tests. The gaps in the availability of genomic information relevant to local populations also don’t allow fine-tuning of the tests. For example, it may find a genetic mutation in someone and not know if that variation is associated with a disease or other causes.

Because of the limited data sets of the African genome designed for a Caucasian and Asian population that may or may not have much of an effect on the African people.

OMICA wants to be a flexible platform that allows to store and analyze African genomes and as well fine-tuning such tools.

OMICA utilizes a mix of Open Sources and Proprietary programs to make the platform easy to access, cheap to run, and highly customizable.

Medical education refers to education and training delivered to medical students in order to become a practitioner. In recent decades, medicine has been radically transformed by scientific and computational/digital advances-including the introduction of new information and communication technologies, the discovery of DNA, and the birth of genomics and post-genomics super-specialties (transcriptomics, proteomics,

interactomics

, and metabolomics/

metabonomics

, among others)-which contribute to the generation of an unprecedented amount of data, so-called 'big data'. While these are well-studied in fields such as medical research and methodology, translational medicine, and clinical practice, they remain overlooked and understudied in the field of medical education. For this purpose, we carried out an integrative review of the literature. Twenty-nine studies were retrieved and synthesized in the present review. Included studies were published between 2012 and 2021. Eleven studies were performed in North America: specifically, nine were conducted in the USA and two studies in Canada. Six studies were carried out in Europe: two in France, two in Germany, one in Italy, and one in several European countries. One additional study was conducted in China. Eight papers were commentaries/theoretical or perspective articles, while five were designed as a case study. Five investigations exploited large databases and datasets, while five additional studies were surveys. Two papers employed visual data analytical/data mining techniques. Finally, other two papers were technical papers, describing the development of software, computational tools and/or learning environments/platforms, while two additional studies were literature reviews (one of which being systematic and bibliometric).The following nine sub-topics could be identified: (I) knowledge and awareness of big data among medical students; (II) difficulties and challenges in integrating and implementing big data teaching into the medical syllabus; (III) exploiting big data to review, improve and enhance medical school curriculum; (IV) exploiting big data to monitor the effectiveness of web-based learning environments among medical students; (V) exploiting big data to capture the determinants and signatures of successful academic performance and counteract/prevent drop-out; (VI) exploiting big data to promote equity, inclusion, and diversity; (VII) exploiting big data to enhance integrity and ethics, avoiding plagiarism and duplication rate; (VIII) empowering medical students, improving and enhancing medical practice; and, (IX) exploiting big data in continuous medical education and learning. These sub-themes were subsequently grouped in the following four major themes/topics: namely, (I) big data and medical curricula; (II) big data and medical academic performance; (III) big data and societal/bioethical issues in biomedical education; and (IV) big data and medical career. Despite the increasing importance of big data in biomedicine, current medical curricula and syllabuses appear inadequate to prepare future medical professionals and practitioners that can leverage on big data in their daily clinical practice. Challenges in integrating, incorporating, and implementing big data teaching into medical school need to be overcome to facilitate the training of the next generation of medical professionals. Finally, in the present integrative review, state-of-art and future potential uses of big data in the field of biomedical discussion are envisaged, with a focus on the still ongoing "Coronavirus Disease 2019" (COVID-19) pandemic, which has been acting as a catalyst for innovation and digitalization.
