A revolution in biomedical assessment: the development of salivary diagnostics.

Since the early 1900s, saliva has proven to be a noninvasive medium from which to measure a wide range of hormones, pharmaceuticals, and antibodies. It has also proven to be a convenient source of host and microbial DNA. As we enter the era of genomic medicine, increasing use of salivary diagnostics will help catalyze a shift from disease diagnosis to health surveillance. However, with the adva...

Babies in biomedical research.

A few months ago, I had the pleasure of attending the traditional closing dinner of the 119th semiannual meeting of The Salt and Water Club*– held for the first time in Pittsburgh, and attended for the first time by a Club member from Cleveland (although elected while in New Haven). The dinner conversation–at first rather wide ranging– became focused when Mark Knepper of the NIH raised the casu...
