TLDR Large data can lead to new medical discoveries and personalized medicine.

Dr. Atul Butte's lecture emphasized the transformative potential of large-scale data in diagnostics, therapeutics, and disease insights. He highlighted the challenges of data interpretation over mere collection and analysis, and showcased how existing tools can facilitate significant drug discoveries. Examples included repurposing drugs like minoxidil for hair loss and topiramate for inflammatory bowel disease. He also discussed the future of personalized medicine, which will require integrating DNA knowledge with clinical, molecular, and environmental data. The lecture underscored the importance of data sharing and the evolving capabilities in genetic sequencing, predicting a future where full genome sequencing could be done rapidly and affordably.

research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research 2015

January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings”

The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
