On October 3, 2016, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Yoshinori Ohsumi for “discoveries of the mechanisms for autophagy.” Just a few weeks earlier, at an acceptance speech for the 2016 Paul Janssen Award, Yoshinori Ohsumi stated that although he performs research in a simple organism—baker’s yeast—he always hoped his research would have an impact upon human health.

The world has become a patient. The disease is called Covid-19 and it has shown us all the unavoidable interconnectedness of the planet. A remedy is only possible globally or not at all - this is one of the most important lessons of the pandemic that no one can escape. In the interest of humanity, the world should work together in solidarity, and within the framework of global political institutions to find a vaccine and medicines that can be produced and distributed on a need basis.
Diza ligger vaken på nätterna bredvid sin fyra månader gamla son. I huvudet snurrar allt hon har läst på nätet. Ska hon tillåta att han vaccineras mot sjukdomar som mässling och polio? När träffade hon senast någon med mässling? Trots att vi lever i en pandemi tycks antivaccin-rörelsen koppla ett allt hårdare grepp om de unga föräldrarna. Journalisterna Anna Nordbeck och Malin Olofsson har infiltrerat antivaccinationsrörelsen i mer än 1,5 år. De har förvånats över all värme och gemenskap som präglar rörelsen. Men ju djupare in i rörelsen de lyckats komma, desto tydligare har det också blivit att det finns metoder och mål som oroliga föräldrar inte ska få reda på.

THE RACE BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE AND DATA IN MEDICINE
Researchers, doctors and biologists benefit from the massive amount of available information as health data becomes digitized. But it also becomes harder and harder for human brains to uncover the complexity and extract insights. Data is generated at a much faster pace than knowledge. This is THE scientific challenge. We need to create the tools to help human collective intelligence extract knowledge from this influx of data. Parts of these technologies already exist, parts need to be invented. OWKIN creates AI technologies to advance knowledge and discover the medicine of tomorrow.
