The NovaUCD start-up is developing ways to preserve privacy protections and identity while researching human genetics and diseases.
Empiric Logic, a Dublin-based start-up, has received an €85,000 grant to develop new methods of securing data and preserving privacy in genetics research.
The start-up, which is based at NovaUCD and was founded in 2018, is developing an artificial intelligence platform to strip genomics data of its identifying information while maintaining its value for health and disease research.
The grant funding comes from Enterprise Ireland’s Innovation Partnership Programme.
