Genesis Healthcare GenesisGaia

Jul 19, 2023

Japanese genetic research and testing firm Genesis Healthcare has introduced GenesisGaia, a generative artificial intelligence software platform that uses genomic datasets to reduce pharmaceutical R&D bottlenecks. Working with analytics company Xebral, Genesis has collected more than 31 million data points from public-sector and open-source datasets on genetics, variants, proteins, drug compounds, scientific publications, and clinical trials, and combined that information with its own collection of more than 400,000 genomes to create GenesisGaia.
