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 .

CRISPR therapies targeting the next breakthrough in oncology

pharmaphorum

As is typical, the research built on work going back years prior, specifically to 1987 when the first CRISPR mechanism was identified in E. coli, and their research in turn formed the foundation for the CRISPR-based therapies being explored to create new treatment options. Why cancer? The pipeline.
