Precision medicine, technologies, and molecular diagnostics
Introduction: Genetics, cellular and molecular medicines are cutting-edge sciences and technologies that play an important role in improving human health and quality of life. In addition, medical and biological sciences have clearly shown that the onset of diseases differs from person to person due to their different genetic profiles and variations in molecular basis. Therefore, it is feasible ...
متن کاملPrecision Chemistry for Precision Medicine
During the 2015 State of the Union address, President Obama unveiled plans for a $215 million Precision Medicine Initiative. The details of this plan were laid out by past and present directors of the National Institutes of Health, Harold Varmus and Francis Collins, in a commentary in the New England Journal of Medicine. While the announcement stood as a public statement of support for funding,...
متن کاملFrom Patient-Specific Mathematical Neuro-Oncology to Precision Medicine
Gliomas are notoriously aggressive, malignant brain tumors that have variable response to treatment. These patients often have poor prognosis, informed primarily by histopathology. Mathematical neuro-oncology (MNO) is a young and burgeoning field that leverages mathematical models to predict and quantify response to therapies. These mathematical models can form the basis of modern "precision me...
متن کاملImproving precision medicine using individual patient data from trials.
© 2016 Joule Inc. or its licensors CMAJ 1 Our first commitment as clinicians is to our patients as individuals. This understanding lies at the heart of the precision medicine initiative, which aims to customize treatments based not only on a patient’s clinical picture but also on their genetic, demographic and environmental profile.1 Clinical trials are rigid by design, typically assessing the ...
متن کاملTowards Patient-Driven Phenotyping and Similarity for Precision Medicine
Clinical phenotyping provides important insight into the manifestation and outcome of rare and complex diseases. Traditional phenotyping techniques often require multiple iterations of refinement with a domain expert, lack interoperability, and have limited reproducibility. In comparison, patient similarity-based techniques derive personalized patient risk models that are highly accurate, even ...
