Most health data still leaves most of the world out. In this episode, PAICON’s Director of Data Strategies, Dr. John KL Wong takes us through his journey from population genetics research in Hong Kong to cancer genomics at DKFZ in Germany, and the fragmented, unharmonized datasets he kept running into at every stop. That frustration became the blueprint for PaiX Navigator, PAICON’s platform that turns messy, multilingual data from 60+ countries into insight researchers can actually use. In this episode, John and Manasi dig into what makes harmonization the hardest part of the problem, why diverse data is a luxury most teams never get to have, and why there’s no excuse left not to build for it.
