Clinical Diagnostics: The identification of a disease in regards to a patient's complaints based merely on signs, symptoms, and medical history of the patient rather than on laboratory examination or medical imaging.
Often we are concerned at the thought of a lab run by robots, not humans-- but what if instead of having the world's brightest minds concerned with pipetting, blotting and scanning, there...
Much has been said about the promise of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to revolutionise diagnosis of rare diseases, and there are many examples of success in this arena. However, the majori...
Genetic disease is the leading cause of death for infants in the intensive care units. Traditional testing is too slow to provide physicians a timely diagnosis to help guide the management of...
Genetic testing currently plays a relatively niche role in healthcare, with testing typically limited to single genes and targeting a relatively narrow range of diseases, including paediatric...
