Genomic Expression's Morten Middelfart states BIG DATA in health save lives

Dec. 8, 2014 - PRLog -- Morten Middelfart is a veteran in the field of business analytics of Big Data with over two decades of experience in the field. “I believe in magic” is his first comment, and continues, “Arthur C. Clarke said that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. I believe that Big Data and advanced algorithms applied in the medical field will be exactly that.”

The conference is the place where cutting edge biomedical research meets state-of-the-art big data technologies, making the extraordinary seems possible. At the forefront of scientific innovation is the recognition that the diseases of aging are not inevitable facts of life; instead they are biological challenges with real solutions.

Morten states, “I’m fascinated by the idea, that the right synergy between human knowledge and computing can emerge into saving lives and make healthcare delivery much more efficient. Having both my parents diagnosed with cancer, but doing well, makes this a personal race against time as much as a quest for better treatment.”

Gitte Pedersen, CEO of Genomic Expression states “The timing is perfect. We are moving our data pipeline into the cloud solution to support our clients needs. Right now data is shipped by regular mail due to its size. We are reducing the size of the file/test by a factor of 1000 and that enables us to deliver results over the internet. We aim to scale to millions of tests thus at that point shipping hard drives around the planet is no longer efficient”.

About Genomic Expression

Genomic Expression’s mission is to develop diagnostics that save lives and make the delivery of healthcare more effective. The inconvenient truth is that only one out of four cancer treatments prolong life.

Genomic Expression is developing diagnostics using its proprietary sample preparation technologies for sequencing and access to biological samples in a novel partnership model.
