Tissue diagnostics is a broad term to describe laboratory testing done on biological tissues. Tissue diagnostics can be used to diagnosis diseases, monitor disease progression, or manage treatment.
Cell growth and regulation involve vast networks of interacting DNAs, RNAs, proteins, lipids and sugars. Through a fundamental strategy of life, these interactions push multiple cellular proc...
Liquid Biopsies are gaining acceptance in the Oncology community as a surrogate or complement to the gold standard of tissue biopsy. A liquid biopsy provides biomarker information that...
Best practices for developing precision medicine diagnostics can include completing a retrospective analysis. Obtaining enough samples to have a statistically significant study typicall...
Biobanks are a powerful resource in the advancement of precision medicine, and integrating large scale genomics data across Biobank cohorts offer opportunities to further enhance and expedite...
