Microfluidic epigenomic mapping technologies for precision medicine

Precision medicine, technologies, and molecular diagnostics

Introduction: Genetics, cellular and molecular medicines are cutting-edge sciences and technologies that play an important role in improving human health and quality of life. In addition, medical and biological sciences have clearly shown that the onset of diseases differs from person to person due to their different genetic profiles and variations in molecular basis. Therefore, it is feasible ...

Precision Chemistry for Precision Medicine

During the 2015 State of the Union address, President Obama unveiled plans for a $215 million Precision Medicine Initiative. The details of this plan were laid out by past and present directors of the National Institutes of Health, Harold Varmus and Francis Collins, in a commentary in the New England Journal of Medicine. While the announcement stood as a public statement of support for funding,...

Genotyping Technologies and Applications in the Era of Precision Medicine

Over the past decade, genotyping technologies have revolutionized the genomic research field by providing cost-effective genotyping of tens of thousands to millions of genetic markers at population scale. That became the driving force behind genome-wide association studies. The price of a genotyping chip with ~1 million variants is now less than $50. We now see large biobank studies with genoty...
