Clinical Research: Patient - oriented research. Clinical research is a branch of healthcare science that determines the safety and effectiveness (efficacy) of medications, devices, diagnostic products and treatment regimens intended for human use. These may be used for prevention, treatment, diagnosis or for relieving symptoms of a disease.

Lyme disease is a common tick-transmitted infection caused by spirochetes in the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex. Borrelia burgdorferi is the primary cause of Lyme disease in the Unit...
Next-generation sequencing is expected to take molecular diagnostics to the next level with the capability to perform deep analysis of genetic information that leads to targeted therapies per...
Genomics and metagenomics have become ubiquitous research efforts. Here we will show details of the development of physical, computational, and even space-based standards for metagenomi...
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy in the United States and both the incidence and associated mortality are rising. When detected early, endometrial cancer survival...
With the exception of the Microbiome Quality Control (MBQC), very little has been published on best practices and reference standards for microbiome and metagenomic studies. As evidenced by r...
This presentation describes the new process by which the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will establish the prices the Agency pays for clinical diagnostic laboratory tests.&n...
A recent clinical trial of the AR inhibitor enzalutamide in patients with TNBC included an exploratory endpoint using RNA sequencing to identify a genomic signature of patients likely to resp...
Screening for cervical cancer represents one of the greatest successes achieved in disease prevention. Cytology has been central to cervical cancer screening programs for over 50 years and ha...
As next generation sequencing has lowered the price of DNA sequencing orders of magnitude below what it cost to create the first consensus human genome, the sheer diversity of human sequence...
