Within the last couple of years, genetic testing has been one of those buzzwords in health care, promising a revolution in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases. Genetic tests have found their place in tracing ancestry to know the risks of diseases. But as exciting as the prospect of genetic testing may seem, there are some huge privacy concerns ...
Bioinformatics is one indispensable tool in the developing world of genetics whereby genetic data is stored, analyzed, and passed on. By amalgamating biology, computer science, and data analysis into one single discipline, bioinformatics will help new explorations of genetics in a new dimension by the research scientist and medical fraternity. That will include some of the ways in which the ...
Imagine a world wherein certain diseases previously considered incurable are indeed treatable due to some radical science. And it involves biopharmaceuticals at the forefront of this change in medical science. But what is this thing called a biopharmaceutical, better known as a biologic? And how will these revolutionary new drugs change the paradigm of drug development? So, let’s do a ...
Every time you think about genetics, the first thing that comes into your mind is a sort of instruction inscribed within your DNA, like on a blueprint, that is going to define who and what you are. How would you feel if somebody told you those instructions were not written in stone? That’s where epigenetics comes in. Epigenetics is the ...
The new paradigm shift, personal medicine takes a storm in the world of health care. Just imagine being treated by the doctor with therapy pinpointed only to suit your particular genetic makeup; treatments can be that effective while minimizing potential side effects. Sounds like the script of some sci-fi movie? The future is now well and truly here to make ...
In recent years, healthcare has transformed. The one-size-fits-all approach to medicine is giving way to something more tailored and individual. This change is largely due to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). AI is now playing a key role in developing personalized medicine, where treatments are customized for each patient. This shift is more than just a trend; it’s a ...
In the world of healthcare, a one-size-fits-all approach is no longer sufficient. Each person has a unique combination of genetics, lifestyle, environment, and medical history. The concept of personalized medicine has emerged to address this diversity, aiming to customize healthcare based on individual characteristics for the best possible outcomes. Recent advances in technology, genomics, and data analysis have been instrumental ...
