Disease advocacy organizations catalyze translational research
Disease advocacy organizations have long played an important role in the continuum from basic science to therapy development in rare disease research. PXE International has led the field in innovative ways, venturing into specific activities that have traditionally been conducted by scientists. As lay founders, we have engaged in gene discovery, gene patenting, diagnostic test development, epid...
متن کاملTranslating Translational Research into Global Health Gains
Last month, the United States Supreme Court struck down a patent claim by Myriad Genetics on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes [1]. The case, Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics , considered whether genes isolated in the lab are ''products of nature'' that may not be patented or are ''human-made inventions'' that would be eligible for patent protection. In its decision, the Court dis...
متن کاملPatient Advocacy in Research
In 20 years of breast cancer advocacy, I’ve witnessed major changes in attitude toward advocates on the part of basic researchers, clinical investigators, and others involved with the science of the disease. Not so long ago, even a seat at the table – much less a vote –was hard to come by. Advocate presence was met with puzzlement, if not outright resistance. How could we possibly understand th...
متن کاملSpecies: turning a conundrum into a research program.
The most appropriate ontological basis for understanding the role of species in evolutionary biology is the Evolutionary Species Concept. The ESC is not an operational concept, but one version of the Phylogenetic Species Concept is. Linking the ontology of species with the epistemological basis of actual biological studies requires that we specify both a discovery mode for identifying collectio...
متن کاملTranslational Antidote Research: A Bedside to Bench Tale
Although antidote development should proceed in an orderly fashion from observation, to experimental and safety studies, to clinical trials, this sequence is not always precisely followed. The development of fomepizole as an antidote for toxic alcohol and glycol poisoning is an example of how this may not be the case. Interest in the development of fomepizole was spurred in the 1960s. Shortly t...
