Our access to data about the world is nearly infinite, and now that this knowledge can be processed in new supercomputers, researchers can learn to read the very code of life to understand everything that lives, map entire ecosystems using a small soil sample, or gain new knowledge for better treatments or to cure diseases that were previously incurable.
"It's like getting a whole new microscope that we can use to study the life on the planet," says researcher Fredrik Ronquist.
All of this is happening within the research field of data-driven life science. Join the researchers within the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation's DDLS program in their quest for new knowledge about ecosystems, bacteria and viruses, infertility, or diseases such as cancer and malaria.
