NEW YORK – BC Platforms said Tuesday that it has entered into a collaboration with Japanese research institute Riken and the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (known by Finnish acronym THL) to build a predictive model to identify people's risk for contracting COVID-19.
The organizations will work together to apply artificial intelligence in an effort to understand genomic and phenotypic associations with the infectious disease. They will seek to determine why and how the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is deadly for some patients and not others.
