What that result means for your health, Lucas Secchim Ribeiro argues, is not \u2014 and for too long, medicine has read everyone&#8217;s results against a standard not built for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"default\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">An immunologist and data scientist at the DZNE (the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases) in Bonn, Lucas has spent most of his career as a fundamental researcher. His current work sets out to change not how medical values are measured, but how they are interpreted, so the same test can mean the right thing for a far wider range of people. The obstacle has always been data: the diversity medicine needs is scattered across institutions that, quite rightly, will not hand over their patients&#8217; records. His answer is swarm learning, a platform built on a principle its team calls &#8220;Data Visiting&#8221;, institutions learn from one another&#8217;s data banks without any data ever leaving home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"default\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The idea has roots in the hospital corridors of Brazil, where he trained, and in a turning point during COVID-19, when he saw what data science could do at scale. A decade after his first encounter with entrepreneurship in Switzerland, he joined this year&#8217;s Young Entrepreneurs in Science Top-Talents-Track to sharpen the concept for the German market. Here, he talks about why the same lab result cannot mean the same thing for everyone, why patient trust has to come before the technology, and why he refuses to wait decades to see his work reach a patient.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n    <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"col-12 col-lg-2\">\n      \n    <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"YES-BlogText-2\" class=\"YES-BlogText col-12\">\n\n  <div class=\"row\">\n    \n    <div\n      class=\"col-12 col-lg-8  offset-lg-2 \">\n      <h6 id=\"isPasted\" class=\"default\"><strong>You&#8217;re currently working on an idea that uses Swarm Learning to make personalised medicine actionable right now, rather than decades down the line \u2014 could you start by briefly introducing yourself and telling us more about it?<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>My name is Lucas Secchim Ribeiro, I am an immunologist and data scientist working at the DZNE, in Bonn. Although Science moves forward at a steady pace, I am always looking for opportunities to give back to society a palpable return of their investment and trust. I have been a fundamental researcher for most of my career, but since I joined the Systems Medicine department, I have the chance to turn that wish into a reality.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n      <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"YES-BlogText-3\" class=\"YES-BlogText col-12\">\n\n  <div class=\"row\">\n    \n    <div\n      class=\"col-12 col-lg-8  offset-lg-2 \">\n      <h1><b><strong>Built for Some, Not for All<\/strong><\/b><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6 id=\"isPasted\" class=\"default\"><strong>At the heart of your idea is a striking observation \u2014 that the same medical result can mean very different things for different people. What is the problem you&#8217;re setting out to solve?<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">If two different people do the same blood test, it is likely that they will have the same reference interval \u2014 or if not exactly the same, very close. I don&#8217;t want to change how things are measured; I just want to change how they are interpreted. If you measure a blood biomarker (for example, HDL cholesterol) in Germany, Japan, Brazil or South Africa, it should give exactly the same result. But what that result means to you might be different from what it means to me. You might be healthy and I might be sick, and we have the same laboratory value \u2014 and currently this heterogeneity between different people is not fully taken into account.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"default\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Part of the reason is that when we have these big cohorts and big studies done with subjects from the Global North, and these populations are not necessarily representative of the actual patients who are at the end of that workflow. And there is more to science than this. Many people want to explore human diversity, but when they try to be diverse, they face the impact of data privacy and are prohibited from moving forward. What our technology offers is exactly that: we can draw insights from different sources while keeping everything private and secure. We value the science behind it, we value the patient behind it, we value the privacy that protects it and we value the diversity that information brings \u2014 and everybody gets what they deserve.<\/span><\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n      <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"YES-BlogCite-4\" class=\"YES-BlogCite col-12\">\n  <div class=\"row\">\n    <div class=\"col-12 col-lg-8 offset-lg-2 text-center\">\n            <div class=\"quote\">\u201cYou might be healthy and I might be sick, and we have the same lab result \u2014 and currently this heterogeneity between different people is not fully taken into account.\u201d<\/div>\n                <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"YES-BlogText-5\" class=\"YES-BlogText col-12\">\n\n  <div class=\"row\">\n    \n    <div\n      class=\"col-12 col-lg-8  offset-lg-2 \">\n      <h1><strong>Data That is Visited, but Never Leaves<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n      <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"YES-BlogText-6\" class=\"YES-BlogText col-12\">\n\n  <div class=\"row\">\n    \n    <div\n      class=\"col-12 col-lg-8  offset-lg-2 \">\n      <h6 id=\"isPasted\" class=\"default\"><strong>You work with Swarm Learning, an approach that lets institutions learn from each other&#8217;s data without ever sharing it.

In a unique, natural move, the world defined COVID as a central target. With that, an incomparable amount of data was generated about a single disease in the most diverse lines of thought. Back then, I was only curious about data science as a scientific tool, but as I watched its true influence towards such a unified goal, I realized that I would need to incorporate that ability into my skill set to become the scientist I always wanted to be.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n      <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"YES-BlogText-12\" class=\"YES-BlogText col-12\">\n\n  <div class=\"row\">\n    \n    <div\n      class=\"col-12 col-lg-8  offset-lg-2 \">\n      <h1><strong>The Top-Talents-Track<\/strong><\/h1>\n    <\/div>\n\n      <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"YES-BlogText-13\" class=\"YES-BlogText col-12\">\n\n  <div class=\"row\">\n    \n    <div\n      class=\"col-12 col-lg-8  offset-lg-2 \">\n      <h6 class=\"default\"><strong>What motivated you to join the Top-Talents-Track at this point in your journey?<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p class=\"default\">My academic findings of the past years led me to explore a novel research field where I could apply my knowledge in clinical biochemistry and data science into a potential tool of immediate use for the medical community.

I really appreciated the participation of alumni from previous cohorts and the open discussion with role models. Since the program provided a safe, free space for interaction, we could really understand the true and important obstacles ahead of us in the real market. Because all of them were raised in a similar academic environment, they could relate to our current struggles and share their solutions of how to overcome the current and future challenges we will face.

Trustworthy science depends on rigorous, continuous investigation, replication and validation, but that is a process that naturally unfolds over a longer time. While this incremental approach is essential for generating reliable knowledge, opportunities to translate discoveries into innovations that extend beyond the traditional academic pathway are comparatively rare but crucial.

Now it is time to scale up the concept to its true size towards a functional MVP.

A gap or a need that only their knowledge can fulfil.
