DESCRIPTION:Open Targets is a public-private partnership to use human genet
 ics\, genomic data and drug information for systematic identification and 
 prioritisation of therapeutic targets. The consortium was founded in 2014 
 by GSK\, EMBL-EBI and the Wellcome Sanger Institute\, and later welcomed t
 hree new partners\, Biogen\, Takeda\, and Celgene. Underpinning this partn
 ership is the [Open Targets Platform](https://www.targetvalidation.org/)\,
  an open source\, user-friendly web interface to investigate causal links 
 between genes\, pathways and diseases. These links are computed\, scored a
 nd ranked using biological evidence integrated from many public [data sour
 ces](https://www.targetvalidation.org/data-sources)\, including the NHGRI-
 EBI GWAS Catalog\, Genomics England\, PheWAS\, ClinVar\, Expression Atlas\
 , UniProt\, and ChEMBL to name a few.\n\nIn addition to data integration\,
  Open Targets also generates new data using human cellular models (e.g. or
 ganoids\, iPSCs) and genome editing (CRISPR/Cas9) to identify drug targets
  in oncology\, immunology and neurodegenerative diseases. This will be pub
 licly available in the public domain and integrated into the Open Targets 
 Platform.\n\nPlease note that if you are not eligible for a University of 
 Cambridge [Raven](http://www.ucs.cam.ac.uk/docs/faq/raven/n5) account you 
 will need to book or register your interest by linking [here](http://bioin
