DNA encrypted in algorithms to expand cognitive abilities

DNA
They translated the most important functions of the human genetic code into the language of algorithms. We are talking about an international team of scientists led by Prof. Edward Szczerbicki from Gdańsk University of Technology and the Australian University in Newcastle. The concept of decisional DNA created by his team has been implemented in over 20 scientific and business projects around the world. It is a way to improve decision-making processes in business, power industry and medicine. This will help, inter alia, to diagnose Alzheimer's disease faster or to control the activity of sick people, but also to achieve private goals and dreams.  

Strengthening human intelligence and expanding human cognitive abilities is a mission that has been carried out for 30 years by Prof. Edward Szczerbicki, a world expert in the field of knowledge engineering and artificial intelligence. The concept of decisional DNA was developed 15 years ago with a team of scientists, i.a. from the Faculty of Management and Economics of Gdańsk University of Technology and the Australian University in Newcastle.
