Intelligent SME . tech is a Lynchpin Media publication for professionals with an interest in global SME news and events . If you wish to subscribe for regular copies , then please email : info @ lynchpinmedia . co . uk

This month ’ s cover story features the Technical University of Denmark ( DTU ), where researchers are working in collaboration with a major EU-funded project across Denmark and Sweden called iCOPE , the Interregional Childhood Oncology Precision Medicine Exploration , to map genetic material for all children with cancer .

The project generates genomic and RNA sequence data which , when combined with patient data , helps to identify genetic factors which may affect their disease evolution and response to treatments . At DTU , researchers are using advanced graph analytics from TigerGraph to help streamline this task and discover new relationships between genetic alterations and patient outcomes .

Jesper Vang and Adrian Otamendi – both PhD Students in the Department of Health Technology , Cancer Systems Biology at the Technical University of Denmark ( DTU ) – tell us more about the project and how the technology aims to provide earlier diagnosis and more effective treatment in our End User Insight feature from page 44 .

Meanwhile , our Predictive Intelligence feature explores DDoS attacks , with the frequency in attacks having risen during the pandemic . Ashley Stephenson , CTO for Corero Network , examines the current situation and how to fight back . You can read his advice from page 25 .

As we approach the end of another year , industry experts have offered their insights into the technologies SMEs should be prioritising in 2022 . We hear from experts at Freshworks , Simeio and Chalkhill Blue consultants who all outline their opinion on how SMEs should be planning for the year ahead from page 21 .
