Kickoff of the #hereditary EU project coordinated by @giansilv at Università di Padova. HEREDITARY will explore the gut-brain interplay, by leveraging semantic and federated data integration and advance analytics, to identify new risks factors and treatment responses

#HEREDITARY project is officially underway!🎉 By integrating multimodal health data, Hereditary will transform the way we approach disease detection, prepare treatment response, and explore medical knowledge in neurodegenerative and gut microbiome disorders🧠🦠🧬 Stay tuned!
