        The primary focus of the <b>Biomedical Discovery Informatics</b> unit at Data Science Institute of NUI Galway is
        cutting-edge AI and machine learning solutions motivated by and validated within a wide range of
        practically-relevant life science use cases. This research falls under the general umbrella of discovery
        informatics that has recently emerged as a field that explores the potential of applying various computer
        science technologies like Semantic Web, big data analytics, AI or machine learning to interdisciplinary
        challenges in turning data and information into actual knowledge.
