This strategic collaboration is particularly relevant given that a number of projects financed focus on the use of Big Data in genomics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Genomics technology will generate massive amounts of data, which will be of significance for the human health sector. Our ability to analyze and interpret these data is a critical factor for the successful integration of genomics into the Qu\u00e9bec health care system. The convergence of genomics and AI provides us with the possibility of making optimal use of clinical data from genomics: the research projects selected will lead to the development of tools used to process, analyze and integrate huge volumes of complex data generated by omics technologies and lead to advances in machine learning models that can predict the development, progression and response to therapy in diseases, such as epilepsy, cancer and heart disease.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to Daniel Coderre, President and CEO of G\u00e9nome Qu\u00e9bec, Qu\u00e9bec is witnessing major developments in two strategic sectors of excellence that must be put to work for the benefit of the Qu\u00e9bec health care system: \u201cPriority must be given to ensuring our leadership in the area of Big Data analysis in genomics using deep learning and artificial intelligence. Our association with IVADO brings to expression that convergence of both sectors, thereby accelerating the development of innovative and personalized therapies for diseases that affect Quebecers. I would like to congratulate the nine research teams for the excellence and quality of the projects submitted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to Guillaume Chicoisne, Scientific Programs Director at IVADO, this collaboration with G\u00e9nome Qu\u00e9bec will strengthen Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s position in health research, an important focus for the Institute. \u201cIVADO finances a significant number of fundamental research projects and we are pleased that G\u00e9nome Qu\u00e9bec will be involved in supporting these initiatives, which are at the intersection of our respective areas of interest \u2013 data science and genomics. From data to decision making, this collaboration will serve as a catalyst for innovative genomics research spearheaded by nine teams of experts from two world-class institutions, Polytechnique Montr\u00e9al and Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The researchers selected under the IVADO-G\u00e9nome Qu\u00e9bec collaboration are:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8211; <strong>Patrick Cossette (Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al)<\/strong><br \/>\nTowards personalized medicine in the management of epilepsy: a machine learning approach in the interpretation of large-scale genomic data<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8211; <strong>Benoit Coulombe (Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al)<\/strong> \u2013 Institut de recherches cliniques de Montr\u00e9al<br \/>\nA machine learning approach to decipher protein-protein interactions in human plasma<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8211; <strong>Julie Hussin (Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al)<\/strong> \u2013 Institut de Cardiologie de Montr\u00e9al<br \/>\nDeep Learning Methods in Biomedical Research: from Genomics to Multi-Omics Approaches<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8211; <strong>S\u00e9bastien Jacquemont (Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al)<\/strong> \u2013 Centre de recherche du CHU Sainte-Justine<br \/>\nModeling and predicting the effect of genetic variants on brain structure and function<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8211; <strong>Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Leblond (Polytechnique Montr\u00e9al)<\/strong><br \/>\nMachine learning technology applied to the discovery of new vibrational spectroscopy biomarkers for the prognostication of intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8211; <strong>\u00c9ric L\u00e9cuyer (Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al)<\/strong> &#8211; Institut de recherches cliniques de Montr\u00e9al<br \/>\nDeveloping a machine learning framework to dissect gene expression control in subcellular space<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8211; <strong>S\u00e9bastien Lemieux (Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al)<\/strong> \u2013 Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer<br \/>\nDeep learning for precision medicine by joint analysis of gene expression profiles measured through RNA-Seq and microarrays<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8211; <strong>Pierre Thibault (Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al)<\/strong> \u2013 Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer<br \/>\nMatching MHC I-associated peptide spectra to sequencing reads using deep neural networks<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8211; <strong>Jean-Claude Tardif (Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al)<\/strong> \u2013 Montreal Heart Institute<br \/>\nMachine learning and precision medicine to curb atherosclerosis \u2013 Please note that this last team is funded exclusively by G\u00e9nome Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>About the IVADO Program <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Fundamental Research Funding Program provides a framework for fostering multidisciplinary research in data science by confirming and strengthening the IVADO community as a key player in the field.
