Antibodies are blood proteins produced in response to and counteracting a specific antigen. Antibodies combine chemically with substances that the body recognizes as alien, such as bacteria, viruses, and foreign substances in the blood.
This talk will review successful efforts at Washington University to employ novel reagents and informatics to the problem of rare allele detection. I will discuss a published bakeoff of in si...
Clopidogrel, an antiplatelet agent frequently used for secondary stroke prevention, is a prodrug that requires both sufficient intestinal absorption and hepatic modification to produce its ac...
The long term goal of our collaborative effort is to bring precision medicine to the practice of veterinary oncology, using the wealth of genomic data gathered in human cancers as a roadmap....
Tumor mutational burden (TMB) is an emerging biomarker that correlates with response to immunotherapeutic agents, such as checkpoint inhibitors. Recent studies indicate that a high mutation l...
In this presentation, Dr. Kothari will provide an overview of the Precision Medicine Initiative from NIH and how NGS technologies have helped the researchers to look deep inside the human tra...
The development of automated DNA sequencers utilizing Sanger sequencing and capillary electrophoresis made it possible to develop the first draft sequences of the human genome. The cost of do...
The NIH put Precision Medicine on the map as a revolutionary way to manage disease, delivering the right treatment, to the right patient, at the right time. But what does Precision Medicine r...
Recent advances in genomic technologies have revealed enormous complexities and uniqueness of human physiology. Although enormous efforts are being made to apply this knowledge to enhance the...
Most cancer therapies have highly variable activity from one patient to another, with only a fraction of patients’ cancers responding to a given treatment. In many types of cancer, comb...
It has been noted by many in the community that for Precision Medicine to become a transformative reality, the underlying DNA and RNA sequence data have to become more precise. In my talk, I...
Virtually all tumors are genetically heterogeneous, containing subclonal populations of cells that are defined by distinct mutations. Subclones can have unique phenotypes that influence disea...
