Towards realizing the vision of precision medicine: AI based prediction of clinical drug response
We used the anti-epileptic drug brivaracetam as a case study and combine a hybrid data/knowledge-driven feature extraction with machine learning to systematically integrate clinical and genetic data from a clinical discovery dataset. We constructed a model that successfully predicts clinical drug response and show that even with limited sample size, integrating high-dimensional genetics data with clinical data can inform drug response prediction.

Post-ictal psychosis in epilepsy: A clinico-genetic study
Post-ictal psychosis occurs under particular circumstances in people with epilepsy with a heightened genetic predisposition to schizophrenia, illustrating how disease biology (seizures) and trait susceptibility (schizophrenia) may interact to produce particular outcomes (post-ictal psychosis) in a common disease.
