Around 700 students though already have their results so there were in under the wire. The test still will be conducted but with anonymous identities and used for research. No word yet on any changes at Stanford as their program offers interpretations and are not used for research and the...

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 heated debate has been kicking around for a while now and until retail pharmacies actually pushed the button with making test available for purchase of the “box” at the stores things were somewhat moving along ok for those who wanted to have their DNA sequenced. Today, things get very confused...

MDVIP has been around for a while and was probably one of the first such companies to open. The video below explains what a Boutique Medical Practice is all about and the pros and cons. What it interesting was that Proctor and Gamble sold off their prescription drug business last year...

This appears to be a big step in bringing science and the clinical areas together, perhaps something we had thought would have meshed a while back but in essence in the working world has not really happened to a big degree. Navigenics has been one of the leaders in the genomics side with focusing...

You will find me on the list too. There are many companies such as Microsoft, Google, Navigenics, Faster Cures and more on the list. Why is this so important? From the article below: “When patients get their records -- especially in computerized format -- they can use the information...

Everyone is some kind of lawsuit today and now even the genomics folks are agreeing to disagree. Perhaps once all the lawsuits over patents and intellectual property are solved, we can get down to some serious sequencing and cure some diseases. BD Navigenics , a Foster City, Calif....

The enrollment is to end in around a week or so, perhaps it can be extended, but still even at 4000 participants, that appears to be a large enough number to create the study. For a little background on the project, I have a prior post here from October of last year. Affymetrix will scan...

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...

I have posted a couple resources here too from past articles, Navigenics has from the beginning focused their DNA and genomic sequencing in the area of physicians versus consumer retail selling methods. This is an important area as some knowledge is certainly better than none and integrating the...

10,000 employees, family members or friends of employees of Scripps will be able to participate in the study, Affymetrix to Scan, Navigenics to interpret and offer life style guidance and the Microsoft HealthVault will be the place where participants can enter information and share it as they see fit...

Progress is being made and appears both sides are satisfied here. DeCode has also applied for a license. Both companies appear to be using a physician for the test results which was at the crux of the matter. We also need more physicians who understand genomics too, and recently DeCode...
