The same is becoming true for the healthcare industry, and one of the first major breakthroughs in the area was the 100,000 Genomes Project. The information gathered from the project is still providing insights today, a decade later. Scientists are able to study the aggregated, de-identified genetics of these individuals.

During this period, Nobel prize-winning German scientist Paul Ehrlich developed his lock-key hypothesis of molecules that specifically bind to cell receptors. Building on the success of cytokine-based immunotherapies, scientists continued to seek other areas where the immune system could be leveraged against tumours.

Hong Kong scientists are reporting the case of a healthy man in his 30s who became reinfected with coronavirus four and a half months after his first bout. They say genome sequencing shows the two strains of the virus are “clearly different”, making it the world’s first proven case of reinfection. Image copyright.

Geneticist Dr Charles Steward has spent his career studying the human genome – but his work became much more personal when his children were diagnosed with severe neurological diseases. Charlie told pharmaphorum how his search for a genetic cause has led him to straddle the divide between scientist and patient advocate.

Nutrigenomics is the science studying the relationship between human genome, nutrition and health. In part, the success of the Human Genome Project has also paved a path for the novel concept of nutrigenomics. Nutrigenomics testing is one of the first applications of the human genome project which was made public.

Here he gives us a deeper look at how genomic medicine is evolving and the barriers that are preventing it from reaching its full potential. If you look at a region that is repeated or deleted, by, for example, 10,000 nucleotides in length and you’ve got a tiny read, you can’t match that to the genome with any confidence.”.
