Pre-clinical Research: is a level of research that begins before clinical trials can begin, and during which important feasibility, constant testing and drug safety data are collected. The aim of a preclinical study is to collect data in support of the safety of the new treatment. Preclinical studies are required before clinical trials in humans can be started.
Appropriate dosing of pharmaceuticals is critical to prevent sub-therapeutic efficacy or the occurrence of adverse events. However, genetic variability may significantly influence an individu...
Introduction and adoption of whole-genome sequencing has enabled new methods of investigation in the quest for answers in diagnostic odyssey cases as well as in the broader study of genetic d...
Cancer immunotherapy has demonstrated promising results. However, to date, researchers have failed to overcome the complex interplay between the immune system and the immune suppressive tumor...
As one of the nation's most prevalent sexually transmitted infections, genital herpes represents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to clinicians, laboratorians and the patients they...
As hospitals and healthcare systems move toward value-based care, new management systems are needed to measure and improve clinical processes. This presents both an opportunity and a ch...
