We are getting closer to the $1,000 genome. Their business though is not to sell the machines, but rather to “wholesale” the process, in other words they will sequence only and offer no interpretations, which would be done by another company they would supply the sequencing information to. ...
This article states part of the reporting system will include information on the willingness of a doctor to use genetic testing, well first of all we need to help the doctors to bring this full circle with the integration into the clinical side of this, as I have spoken to many MDs and they are aware...
Not only do we see venture capital money here, also some big Pharma names. In a related story, Roche sees diagnostic machines and test kits as crucial to assessing and treating disease in the future and their risk profile has recognition of being one large investor in a growing area of drug research...
Medical records is not the only area where integration is taking place today, same for genomics. With this example, you have desktop and web software communicating. Additional information from the web based product will allow additional information to be accessed via desktop software, much...
This is just the start here and it seems to appear the marketing of genomic testing and labs is beginning to resemble the CT scanner rage of a few years ago, except this process is a bit more complicated and still needs more education from the medical side of the business before successful marketing...
Two interesting videos about the course of sequencing. Technology is also going into environmental planning and additional medicinal uses. This is somewhat spooky in the fact that they project in 3 years we will have the capability of creating new life forms that have never existed before...
How hot is genomics today? There are several manufacturers of the machines that will accomplish running our DNA, our complete DNA. I know to the average person this gets a little confusing, but the companies listed here are the companies that manufacture the machines that do the entire work...
Thanks to Dr. Crounse for previewing some of this at the HUG meeting in Redmond recently, we have already had a preview of how some of this new technology works with healthcare, like folding proteins on Surface for example. More can be read here with videos to watch and download. Follow...
He also did recognize the effect of current budget cuts are having on the progression of R and D, as anyone who applies for and receives grants these days knows the bar has been raised and it is a bit more difficult to secure them, as a result many are looking to investors outside the NIH for funding...
This is probably a good move to speed this process up since many pharmaceutical companies have and are looking at moving more trials to India. More information can be read here about the changing face of Pharma in reference to research and development. One more area to think about too is the use...
