Microsoft Research is supporting work into the causes of neurodegenerative illnesses such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's through its Computational Challenges of Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) programme.
A second project will attempt to predict and prevent adverse drug responses with prescription medicines.
Microsoft has selected six projects to support out of a total of 40 proposals submitted from 39 academic institutions worldwide.
The goal is to aid researchers in the correlation of genetic patterns with patients' responses to drugs, diseases, aging and the expression of genetic disorders to enable lifesaving research through the use of technology.
