from academia, government, and industry to implement federated frameworks for disease subtyping, genetic association studies, and
multimodal clinical prediction using NVIDIA FLARE. This preprint presents ten projects spanninggenome-wide association analyses,
histopathology harmonization, pangenome construction, ancestry deconvolution, rare disease stratification, cancer subtyping, polygenic
risk score aggregation, and multimodal fusion. These proofs of principle collectively demonstrate both the versatility of federated
learning for biomedical applications and the technical considerations required for successful deployment.]]>James Mu
