In the United States, invasive aspergillosis (IA), an invasive fungal infection of the upper respiratory tract of immune compromised patients, is usually caused by Aspergilus fumigatus, while...
Personalized medicine is expected to benefit from the combination of genomic information with the global monitoring of molecular components and physiological states. To ascertain whether this...
In this presentation I describe some of the approaches we are taking to identify the genetic architecture of common complex cancers with a particular focus on the etiology of lung cancer. Can...

As a component of individualized medicine, pharmacogenetics (PGx) focuses on how genetic factors influence individual responses to specific medications. The clinical goals of pharmacogenetics...
Our ability to view and alter biology is progressing at an exponential pace -- faster even than electronics. Next generation sequencing can be used to assess inherited, environmental and epi-...
Recent studies show a large prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in populations of all ages. Concerns about excess supplementation and toxicity have emerged as a result. Th...
Survival rates for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain unacceptably low compared to other common solid tumors. This mortality reflects a weakness in conventional staging, as...
 Recent studies provide evidence that low vitamin D levels can be the cause or aggravating factor for pain in a significant proportion of the population. Knowledge of our patients' 25OHD lev...
 Measurement of renin and its activity is increasingly used in the evaluation of circulatory function. This is primarily driven by a higher than previously realized prevalence of primary hype...
