Rancho Biosciences Joins Forces With Davos Alzheimer's Collaborative in Global Fight Against Alzheimer's Disease
SAN DIEGO, April 2, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Rancho Biosciences, a data Science Services company known for its data curation and harmonization capabilities, is excited to announce its work with the Davos Alzheimer's Collaborative (DAC), a first-of-its-kind global public-private platform leading an unprecedented response to Alzheimer’s disease. The initiative will clean, curate, and harmonize data from DAC’s global cohorts program and then upload it to a data-sharing platform so that scientists around the world can have access to its findings.
Alzheimer's disease remains one of the most pressing healthcare challenges of our time, with over 55 million individuals and families around the world affected by its devastating impact. Rancho Biosciences is joining forces with Davos Alzheimer's Collaborative to leverage data science expertise and innovative solutions to address this critical issue by focusing mainly on datasets from regions traditionally underrepresented in Alzheimer’s disease research and clinical trials.
“We are thrilled to work with the Davos Alzheimer's Collaborative in this important endeavor," said Julie Bryant, CEO of Rancho Biosciences. "Through collaboration and innovation, we believe we can uncover disease insights by harmonizing global datasets for regional comparison, which we hope will contribute to finding cures for Alzheimer's disease.”
“Rancho Biosciences will support the data curation, cleaning, and harmonization efforts we are undertaking with our cohort partners around the world,” said Irene Meier, Director of Program Strategy and Operations, Davos Alzheimer’s Collaborative. “This effort will help provide new learnings and allow for comparative insights across different types of data obtained from cross-culturally validated assessments.”
Once curated and cleaned, data from DAC’s global cohorts program will be made available via the Alzheimer’s Disease Data Initiative (ADDI) platform, which supports global research initiatives and interventions for Alzheimer’s disease by providing controlled access to the broader research community via the study’s principal investigators.
