Why early participant engagement is now a top priority in genetic disease research

pharmaphorum

In 2016, scientists behind a study called the Resilience Project analysed genetic data from 589,000+ people and found 13 adults who carried genetic variants that should have resulted in serious – even deadly – childhood disease, but who were apparently healthy. Giving participants something in return.

In March, the collaborative T2T consortium published the first complete telomere-to-telomere sequence of the human genome, filling in the last 8% of the 3 billion base pairs that make up our DNA. Moreover, research has shown that genetic testing can reduce adverse reactions to drugs by nearly one third.

Automated Biobanking. Automated Biobanking is an approach to radically reduce the manual tasks involved in properly storing, labeling, authenticating, and monitoring samples, as well as increasing the ease of displaying much of their data values and making sample retrieval easier.

Cryomacs Freezing Bags – A Critical Component in the Successful Delivery of Biological Samples and Therapies

Roots Analysis

Owing to the ability to preserve a wide variety of elements for such a long period of time, including cells, tissues, blood and DNA, cryopreservation has emerged as a key focus area for stakeholders in the biopharmaceutical industry.

Biorepositories as a Guiding Resource for Research & Drug Discovery

XTalks

Biobanks are used for the coordination of high-yield patient sample collection. Moreover, biobanks are no longer passive biorepositories for accrual of samples and serve a more utilitarian function in identifying and coordinating specific research cohorts for longitudinal and prospective studies.

Research Roundup: Blood Test for Severe COVID-19 and More

The Pharma Data

The test valuates mitochondrial DNA levels. When mitochondrial DNA, normally found inside cells, in the mitochondria, spills into the bloodstream, it signals that a particular type of violent cell death is occurring. They measured the patients’ mitochondrial DNA levels on the first day of their hospital stays.
