Euan Ashley from Stanford University School of Medicine and Ziad Ali from Columbia University have been hunting for a better drug coating for coronary stents, the small mesh tubes used to prop open plaque-filled arteries, and have pinpointed a cancer drug as a possible candidate. This is an example of scientists harnessing vast quantities of data to understand genetically complex diseases. By combining text analysis of the whole medical literature with data from large-scale genetic studies in humans, the researchers built a theory that they then tested in the laboratory.
