- Are drug targets with genetic support twice as likely to be approved? Revised estimates of the impact of genetic support for drug mechanisms on the probability of drug approval: Quantifies the impact of genetic evidence on a drug's probability of being approved. Must read for those building at the intersection of biopharma and tech
- Development and Validation of a Deep Learning Algorithm for Detection of Diabetic Retinopathy in Retinal Fundus Photographs: Google's deep learning study on diabetic retinopathy. Big money buys big datasets, but a classic work that set the gold standard in the field of DL for medicine
- Clinically applicable deep learning for diagnosis and referral in retinal disease: Another high profile study by Google on opthalmology imaging. Sequel to above paper but with much greater implication for clinical practice.
- The Innovator's Prescription: Clayton Christensen's take on disruptive innovations in healthcare/life science.
