Why the U.S. Needs More COVID-19 Genome Sequencing
Other countries can spot new variants because they’re actively looking for them. But the U.S. has spent a year with its head in the sand.
Five Things Genomics Has Taught Us About COVID-19
‘Everything is unprecedented about the pandemic, and genomics is no exception,’ says an infectious disease expert. Genome sequencing has enabled scientists to track the virus, study its origins, confirm reinfection, and get to know more...
For All Its Promise, Genomic Testing Is Struggling
For both clinical and consumer markets, genomic testing has a lot to offer — but it isn’t always used where it could be valuable, and people don’t understand it well enough. As a result, demand...
Next Time, Genomics Could Help Develop Vaccines Beforehand
If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that early detection and early action are vital, and that vaccines are what we need most. That’s why we should roll out pathogen surveillance programs based...
The Co-Evolution of Humans, Machines and Healthcare
We’re prepared to use technology in ways we can't conceptualize, or believe in our wildest dreams, we could use. Medical technology isn’t exempt.
Beyond the Genome: What’s Next in Clinical Testing
Genomic analysis may still be thought cutting-edge by most people and doctors. But scientists have moved beyond querying DNA to understand a range of new health data about us.
These Female Entrepreneurs Grew Opportunity – in Soil
One-third of the world’s arable land has been lost to erosion or pollution. Two Stanford-trained entrepreneurs have developed a tech-centered potential solution.
For a Clear Read on Our Health, Look to Proteomics
Genomics is often touted for its potential to improve healthcare, but there’s another emerging field that’s more likely to have a positive impact on patients’ lives: proteomics. Here are some key things to know.
