Eat4Genes: A Bioinformatic Rational Gene Targeting App to Address Pathologies using Healthy Diet

Eat4Genes is a prototype diet recommendation web app for patients, healthcare providers, and researchers that aids in the selection of a healthy diet to help treat and prevent numerous health conditions.

Risky Business? Deep Dives into DeFi

We seek to investigate current patterns of usage in DeFi lending protocols, and quantify risk and user behaviors across various protocols. Our strategy is to exploit powerful AI models and technology developed for transaction data such as those arising in health and commerce. For example, we can utilize temporal clustering to characterize different types of users and then use these in a dashboard to understand how usage of lending protocols changes over time.
