Clinical Trials are medical research involving human subjects. Clinical Trials evaluate medical, surgical, or behavioral interventions to determine if a novel treatment is safe and effective. There are four phases of Clinical Trial testing used to test the new treatment, determine the most effective dosage, and ensure the adverse effects do not outweigh the medical benefits.
Decoding human genetic disease allows us to develop models of the pathology that can be directly tested with gene correction or targeted drug therapy. Dominant negative mutations are pa...

Screening for Down syndrome began with the question "How old will you be when you deliver?". If the pregnant woman answered 35 years of age or older, she was offered amniocent...
Cannabidiol (CBD) has emerged as a promising anti-epileptic drug in otherwise treatment-resistant genetic epileptic disorders. However, the clinical trials have been limited by their use of C...
