Podcast Q&A: Advancing Patient Care through Real-World Data, Machine Learning, and Systems Biology

This podcast segment from Syapse’s September 21, 2022 webinar features the Q&A with Nitin Baliga, Insitute of Systems Biology, and Thomas Brown, Syapse as they answer questions on utilizing real-world data, machine learning, and systems biology for benefiting therapeutic development.

It’s estimated that less than 5% of adult cancer patients enroll in clinical trials. Due to clinical trial eligibility criteria and access barriers to clinical trials, it is assumed that trial populations differ greatly from real-world populations. Thus, it is assumed that clinical trial results and the derived clinical evidence have limited generalizability. This creates a gap in needed data and evidence for development of novel therapeutics that will benefit the greatest number of patients, and has most certainly contributed to health care disparities. This begs the question: how can we reduce this gap?

The webinar features Nitin Baliga, MSc, PhD, Senior Vice President, Director and Professor, at the Institute for Systems Biology, and Thomas Brown, MD, MBA, Chief Medical Officer, Syapse. This conversation focuses on leveraging real-world data, machine learning, and systems biology to enable drug target discovery, drug repurposing, combinatorial therapeutics, and, ultimately, creating evidence to power life-saving decisions for patients and their families.
