Why genomic healthcare data matters in the development of new therapies 

Drug Discovery World

Genomic healthcare data is critical to identify disease risk, ancestry, traits and response to medicines and aids in the development of new targeted therapies – precision medicines. In April 2003, after its launch in October 1990, the project was completed, generating the first sequence of the human genome. The origins .

Why early participant engagement is now a top priority in genetic disease research

pharmaphorum

The DNA of these so-called ‘genetic superheroes’ may contain clues about how to treat severe disease. Fast forward to today and, while many large-scale genomics studies still lack the infrastructure and consent policies to enable recontact, this is starting to change. Why should research be any different?

Q&A: Gene therapy opportunities from long-read sequencing 

Drug Discovery World

To develop safe and effective gene therapies, researchers need confidence that genomic data is both complete and accurate. This considerable magnitude of difference in read length affords researchers a more complete and accurate view of genomic variation.

Biorepositories as a Guiding Resource for Research & Drug Discovery

XTalks

The power of leveraging clinical data to decipher disease mechanisms and fuel drug discovery has rapidly grown in the era of genomics and personalized medicine. Biobanks are used for the coordination of high-yield patient sample collection. Generation of strong research dataset cohorts must begin with high-quality clinical samples.
