Human research is scientific research conducted with human subjects in an effort to improve health. Human research can involve people directly, but it can also utilize specimens or data from people. Research can be aimed at developing a new drug or therapy or improving a diagnostic or therapeutic technique.

Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models can recapitulate patient tumor histopathology, mutational status, gene expression patterns, and drug response with remarkable fidelity. At The Jackson L...
Human malignant glioma is a uniformly fatal disease, causing over 14,000 deaths in the US this year. Adults diagnosed with malignant brain tumors have a median survival of approximately 15 mo...
Obesity is associated with an aggressive subtype of breast cancer called basal-like breast cancer (BBC). Using C3(1)-TAg mice, a genetically engineered mouse model that resembles human BBC, w...
Proteomics technology has improved dramatically over the last decade. The technology developments have largely been directed around instrument hardware, where instruments have been developed...
The comprehensive, multidimensional molecular characterization of tumors and the individuals in which they have developed is transforming cancer definition, diagnosis, treatment, and preventi...
Post-translational methylations play central roles in epigenetic gene regulation pathways that are central to stem cell regulation. Lysine methylations are turn-on switches for hundreds of di...
The effective implementation of personalised cancer therapeutic regimens depends on the successful identification and translation of informative biomarkers to aid clinical decision-making. An...
 Equine anti-doping analysis is a changing and dynamic field of science. The constant introduction of new drugs and biopharmaceuticals present challenges to the integrity of sports. Anti-dopi...
Opportunities for plant science to contribute to global food security include increasing the yield and quality of crops, making plants less susceptible to pests and and more resistant to her...
Master regulatory transcription factors localize to the genome in a manner influenced by chromatin accessibility and influencing global chromatin structure. With an interest in understanding...
The ever-quickening pace of breathtaking advances in our understanding of disease biology has implicitly promised a profusion of drugs that will dramatically improve human health and well-bei...

Medical applications of genetics and genomics have been advancing dramatically since completion of the sequencing of the human genome. The cost of DNA sequencing has plummeted, leading to the...
For personalized genomic medicine (PGM) to be readily adopted into clinical practice, there is a need for a multidisciplinary team, and a need to educate health care professionals and the...
In this presentation I describe pathway based analyses of genotyping data to identify pathways related to the development of complex diseases, with a focus on lung cancer and selected autoimm...
