AI tool may help doctors select best drugs for COVID patients

pharmaphorum

Researchers in the US have developed an artificial intelligence-based tool that is able to predict COVID-19 symptoms and suggest which FDA-approved drugs might be used to treat patients. It could also be made more powerful by incorporating personal genetic information and gene expression profiles in tissues such as the lungs, they suggest.

Molecular changes in white blood cells can help diagnose ‘the bends’ earlier in divers

Scienmag

First study to show gene expression changes in divers with ‘the bends’ reveals key role of genes for inflammation and immunity For over a century, researchers have known about “the bends”, a serious condition affecting scuba divers. Doctors do not yet have a definitive test […].

Genetic biomarkers could personalise therapy for TNBC

Drug Discovery World

A new study has shed light on the genetic messages encoded by genes within ‘triple negative’ breast cancers (TNBC), and shows they could predict response to chemotherapy. Although immune features remained relatively stable, RNA-based features related to DNA damage repair pathways changed significantly.

Women in Science Who Have Paved the Way Forward in Genetics

XTalks

Much of the fundamental groundwork for genetics and genomic research was laid in the 20 th century, with significant contributions from women scientists, some of whom worked during times when acceptance of female researchers was not widespread. Here is a profile of some of those brilliant women who helped shape genetics research.

FAIR Game: making data work harder in the race to market 

Drug Discovery World

For example, GEO, the gene expression omnibus database, has been collecting gene expression and functional genomics datasets and making them available to the public for more than 20 years. Harnessing the full potential of data produced in a drug research lab depends on many factors, including the way research is done.

The Pharma Data

Epigenetics is a multi-billion dollar area of research, studied throughout the world and funded by health institutions, universities and by governments. It shows us that we can directly affect a gene’s damaging behavior so that it no longer hurts us. But, as your doctor will have explained, lots of people have both these genes.
