How Pharmacogenomics may finally realise its promise

pharmaphorum

There have been great strides made in genomics to refine tools that determine the safest, most effective course of treatments for patients across a number of disease states. Looking at an individual’s genomic profile also provides an understanding of appropriate medication dosage.

Supercharging AI-drug discovery with strategic multiomic biobanks 

Drug Discovery World

Narain , PhD, President and CEO of BPGbio asks how a better calibre of biobanks in life sciences can lead to more drugs making it to market. In anticipation of the long-awaited personalised medicine revolution, many different types of biobanks have emerged to catalogue samples. But the utility of biobanks varies.

Rare Disease Diagnosis: Why Tackling the Genomic Analysis Bottleneck is Key to Advancing Precision Medicine

XTalks

For more information on tackling this “genomic analysis bottleneck,” watch this on-demand webinar. HS: Due to the heterogeneity of the rare disease population, there are many relevant gene lists, and the genomic data analysis of these patients covers almost 2,000 different genetic targets.

Why a recent advancement is a giant leap for human genomics

Drug Discovery World

The first complete, gapless sequence of a human genome was published 1 April 2022 in a special issue of the journal Science 1. While The Human Genome Project mapped about 92% of the human genome two decades ago, sequencing the last 8% of the genome proved highly challenging.

10 Key Learnings from Successful Cellular and Gene Therapy Trials for Rare Diseases

XTalks

These are, in my view, the most valid comparisons, particularly in inherited diseases where the genotype is obviously the same in each individual patient, and as a consequence, the difference in phenotype after gene therapy is a true difference,” he adds. What are the best ways to engage patients for long-term follow-up visits?
