Genetic profiling

A study into long Covid has provided the first detailed genetic insights into the condition and its commonalities with other diseases, including myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Despite considerable global research, studies have so far failed to identify the detailed genetic risk factors for long Covid, the mechanisms behind the disease, or any common pathophysiology […]

Cancer Research UK, The University of Manchester and Roche have opened a multi-drug, precision medicine trial for people with rare cancers.  The trial is set up to recruit both paediatric and adult patients with any rare cancer type and is one of very few precision medicine platform trials in the world targeting these populations.  The […]

Currently, no effective cure or treatment for Huntington’s disease exists. To accelerate Huntington’s disease research and drug discovery, researchers need access to physiologically relevant human disease models that recapitulate patient phenotypes, in combination with more advanced methods to understand the underlying mechanisms of the disease. Download this new App Note from bit.bio to learn: How […]

Researchers have identified 35 genes associated with long-term Lyme disease that could potentially be used as biomarkers to diagnose patients with the condition.  The findings, from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York and published in the journal Cell Reports Medicine, may also lead to new therapeutic targets. The study is […]
