Stem cell technologies are a rapidly developing field that combines the efforts of cell biologists, geneticists, and clinicians and offers hope of effective treatment for a variety of malignant and non-malignant diseases.
A century and a half after we first probed heritability, we risk forgetting one of Mendel's own basic findings, in rushing to broaden clinical genomics to lifelong care for all. Embracing...
Precision medicine requires understanding the mechanistic basis of complex disorders, and to precisely manipulate these mechanisms to better human health. This is partly enabled by the recent...
While next-generation sequencing has proven to be a very useful tool in basic research, two major hurdles remain for its broad adoption in the clinical research setting: lack of seamless work...
The advent of the microarray technology in 2000 has paved the way for advanced translational research methods that use molecular markers such as microRNA, proteins, metabolites and copy numbe...
Cell death is involved in diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration, and also has a natural role in the development of multicellular organisms. Although apoptosis has been well defined, a...
Every day, vast amounts of healthcare data are collected from clinical trials as well as real world medical visits on patient treatment regimens and subsequent clinical outcomes. This big dat...
On January 20, 2015, President Obama announced the Precision Medicine Initiative® (PMI) (link is external) in his State of the Union address. Through advances in research, technology and...
One of the primary goals of precision medicine is the aggregation and interpretation of deep, longitudinal patient-specific data in the context of the digital universe of information, using a...
A number of recently publications have heralded the advent of Precision Medicine in Oncology, where next generation sequencing technology, other ’omics technologies, serial biopsies, so...
Understanding disease at a deeper level so that it can be targeted more precisely is the essence of precision medicine. Rapid technological advance, particularly in genomics and sensor-based...
In December 2012 the UK Prime Minister announced the 100,000 genomes project to introduce whole genome sequencing for treatment into the UK National Health Service (NHS) o...
Precision medicine promises a more effective approach to disease treatment and management. It is based on analyzing mutations of disease samples to unlock mechanisms of disease development an...
Personalised Healthcare is essential to AstraZeneca’s approach to drug development and is adopted by more than 80% of drug products in clinical development. Selection of the right patie...
Over the past decade, there has been a rapid growth in studies of secreted membrane vesicles, collectively called extracellular vesicles (EVs). (1) The release of EVs has been reported in the...

In recent years there have been great advances in automated microscopy and imaging for generating more predictive, ...
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are powerful approaches for diagnosis and surveillance of emerging infections. Unbiased metagenomic NGS can detect the full spectrum of pathogen...
Natural preservation is often cited as effective and “safe” alternative to traditional synthetic preservative systems. However, the so-called natural preservatives bring a number...
Consumer, Household, and Industrial (CH&I) formulations have increasingly driven towards more environmentally acceptable ingredients within water-based formulations, microbial control str...
Oxford Nanopore's MinION is a small, portable USB-powered sensing device which is powered by nanopore technology. It is adaptable to the analysis of DNA, RNA, proteins or small molecules, and...
In this talk, Sonia Shah interweaves history and original reportage to explore the origins of epidemics, drawing parallels between the story of cholera-one of history's most disruptive and de...
Over the past twenty years there has been an accelerated attack on the use of preservatives in cosmetics. This increased scrutiny of preservatives has forced cosmetic companies to change thei...
Control of infection from methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been a healthcare focus for more than 50 years. One of the reasons that active surveillance testing (AST) for...
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) continue to be a considerable problem for hospitals and healthcare institutions that can adversely affect patient outcomes and impact the financial bot...
