Each program is similar but yet very different at each university. Stanford is a demographic group that is also a bit older than the students at Berkeley so a combination of both with different age groups represented could offer a lot of information for the future. Stanford also offers the students...

This is good news here and will certainly help quite a bit. If you notice the wording here it will “decrease” the risk of linking two data sets together. I have done my share of queries and know how the processes works to attain data, so this is a good thing all the way around. The...

All DNA samples and medical records have been de-identified so use in research can take place. The research will be able to determine if genetic information in the medical records could help improve patient care via using personalized medicine, based on genomic information added to a medical chart...

This is something else from the old methodologies of doing business and it’s not going away any time soon, but are there lines crossed when curing disease gets in the way of a company maintaining and not sharing a patent? This really pretty much opens that discussion. In working with today...

Yes, the processes and information needed to sequence and hold your DNA does not fit in an Excel spreadsheet, now the interpretation into layman's’ terms so you understand could be, but not all the data that is needed to compile this. As we are now able to mine and analyze more than 3% of the...

Clinical Trials state that the drug is prolonging life and also showing to shrink tumors. We may all remember the Super Bowl this year with Bruce Springsteen and the member of his band lost to skin cancer, and now there’s the Danny Fund foundation where you can contribute. This study looks...

It’s all about software and education for personalized medicine to move forward. One comment made here, and I agree is the fact that a non-physician individual will need to come in to play to explain how this works for patients. There are many more websites coming on line that offer information...

In the discussions, both Plavix and Erbitux are mentioned as both drugs do not work on 30-40% of patients and the answer eventually will lie in genomics research to find out why. If this is known up front, it would save that population the risk of taking a drug that is not going to work for them...

I try to cover quite a bit on the blog relative to personalized medicine and how it links and will connect to the clinical side of healthcare. Navigenics has always had the focus on working with the physicians versus the commercial direct sale to the consumer. MDVIP, Inc. is a privately-held firm...
