Dementia Gap Map

Dementia Gap Map is a semantic map of dementia and GWAS research drawn from PubMed, covering several thousand papers grouped by disease area, from Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia to Parkinson’s, Huntington’s and prion disease. Each paper is linked to its gene targets, pathways and clinical trials, and connections on the map are based on citations.

Users can draw a region on the map to see the attributes of that group of papers as a feed, or ask the map questions directly, such as which mechanisms have active clinical development and which have stalled, or which pathways have strong genetics but little clinical translation. Built as a demo for a research group in the UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI).
