Cutting-edge research efforts include the creation of the largest open-access resource for regulatory variants in a South African cohort, the launch of modular iPSC-derived microglia cell platforms accelerating neurodegenerative disease studies, and advances in multimodal foundation models integrating chemical structural and spatial data for generative chemistry. These initiatives empower precision medicine, biomarker discovery, and AI-driven drug design, enhancing the molecular understanding essential to next-generation therapeutic development.
