I'm not exactly sure how you can say that. The following have been revolutionized by the human genome project and subsequent technological innovation in sequencing: -Non-invasive prenatal diagnostics -Screening for…
I don't know about this specific example, but DNA sequencing is already routinely used for personalized oncology therapeutics outside of clinical trials, so not really research project. Source: Am MD and practice…
Thanks for your concern. All technologies come with benefits and risks. Of course, DNA sequencing can be used for harmful purposes, eg. tracking individuals. We should be very cautious of these risks as the technology…
We work within the infectious disease space, so I'll give an example from our work that is still personalized medicine: Faster detection of antimicrobial resistance. Every infection will be resistant to different…
Agreed - Definitely a different class of problem than "software". There are large barriers, eg. lab contamination, biocontainment, low input protocols, etc; however, technological innovation will help with these. That…
Exactly. Better analytics can enable this technology to produce better results than competing technologies in less time. Once automated/easy/rapid sample prep comes, there will be mass adoption in the space. Disclaimer:…
So happy to see this here. While sequencing is quite old, mass adoption still has not come. The benefits are clear - faster infectious disease diagnosis, personalized treatment, tracking the spread of infection,…
