Pioneering Graph-Based Relational Learning

NEC Laboratories Europe is a world pioneer in advancing and applying graph-based relational learning. Our GraphAI technology discovers and exploits relations between data entities, eliminating the problem of missing data points and linking multimodal data.

Accelerating Vaccine Discovery with Software Optimization

Governments and scientists are in a race against time to identify and control the spread of emerging viruses before they become pandemics. NEC Laboratories Europe is currently working with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) to develop vaccines effective against SARS-CoV-2 variants and other betacoronaviruses.

A New Frontier in Personalized Therapeutic Cancer Vaccines

Neoantigens can be used to develop personalized therapeutic cancer vaccines that teach the patient's immune system to recognize and kill cancer cells. The NEC Neoantigen Prediction Pipeline uses bioinformatics and machine learning to analyze the DNA and RNA of cancer patients to identify neoantigens originating from cancer mutations. NEC Laboratories Europe was a key contributor in developing the prediction pipeline, which enables NEC biotech partners to advance immunotherapy.
