Biomedical Informatics
3rd generation sequencing may provide investigators with a tool to better resolve genomic structural variants than previous microarray and NGS technologies.

Personalized Medicine and Pharmacogenomics: Part Two – Pharma
Pharmacogenomics has grown from an experimental strategy to the basis of drug discovery and development, with the support of the FDA and NCATS.

Personalized Medicine and Pharmacogenomics: Part One – The Clinic
Genomic Clinical Decision Support systems will enable personally tailored drug therapies that improve patient safety, increase drug effectiveness, and provide better economic efficiency for the healthcare system.

Next Generation Pathology: Integration of Histology and Genomic Data
Advanced biomedical informatics analysis, based on integration of data from a “clinical grade” database of histopathology and genomics, will become the gold standard in molecular pathology.

Whole Genome Analysis in Oncology
The rapid fall in the cost of whole genome sequencing and analysis presents an opportunity to evaluate whole genome diagnostics in the clinical setting.
