Successful examples of repurposing for rare diseases often stem from collaborative approaches that leverage both scientific, data science, computational and technical expertise. For example, a datathon run by Elsevier and The Pistoia Alliance identified four new candidates for drug repurposing to treat chronic pancreatitis. And a demonstration by SciBite and Stardog that took just 40 minutes showed how to build a knowledge graph to identify repurposing candidates for Friedrich’s Ataxia.
