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.

The second of three debates for academic communities "Why do we need the Fahrenheit Union of Universities?" took place on 18 November 2021 at the Medical University of Gdańsk. The meeting was attended by representatives of the FarU authorities, including the rectors of three member universities: prof. Marcin Gruchała, prof. Krzysztof Wilde and prof. Piotr Stepnowski (UG) and the director of the Union, prof. Adriana Zaleska-Medynska. Among the invited guests there were also Leszek Bonna, Deputy Marshal of the Pomeranian Voivodeship and PhD Jerzy Karpiński, director of the Health Department of the Pomeranian Voivodeship Office. Prof. Michał Markuszewski, Vice-Rector for Science of the MUG, Plenipotentiary of the Rector for the Union of Universities in Gdańsk also took part in it. The meeting was a continuation of the debate that took place on 4 November 2021 at Gdańsk University of Technology.

– It is impossible to carry out such a large project without the support of the entire academic community - began the Rector of the MUG, prof. Marcin Gruchała. – Our goal is to achieve federalization while maintaining the total autonomy of universities. Today we have a chance to be competitive and act together under one banner.
