FDA Works To Speed The Advent Of New, More Effective Personalized Medicines

As part of an agency-wide initiative to speed development of new medical products through the science of pharmacogenomics, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today issued a final guidance titled "Pharmacogenomic Data Submissions." Pharmacogenomics allows health care providers to identify sources of an individual's profile of drug response and predict the best possible treatment option...

Faster, low cost sequencing technologies needed to drive era of personalized medicine

DNA testing is transforming health care and medicine, but current technologies only give a snapshot of an individual's genetic makeup. Any patient wanting a complete picture of their inherited DNA, or genome, would drop their jaw at the sight of the bill -- to the current tune of $10 million or more charged for every human or mammalian-sized genome sequenced. Now, with a grant award from t...

Personalized Medicine and Innovative Pharmaceuticals

Personalized medicine is creating quite a revolution of sorts. A clue into what might be the norm, years from now, personalized medicines will aim at reducing// or totally obliterating the side-effects by evolving medicines that are tailor –made to a person’s genetic information. Indeed this will be a whole new story in the development of drugs. Amalia M. Issa, a pharmacologist and cli...

Personalized Genetics: Unraveling the Secret Code to Good Health.

A path breaking research by American scientists in the area of personalized genetics will soon enable people with the esoteric knowledge of their distinct biological make-up. //This will be possible by scanning and deciphering the genome, and list out an individual’s complete genetic composition. This is indeed a major achievement that can bring about significant improvements in the li...

Fat Kills Cancer: Turning Stem Cells from Fat Tissue into Personalized, Cancer-Targeted Therapeutics

PHILADELPHIA, July 3, 2007 ? Researchers in Slovakia havebeen able to derive mesenchymal stem cells from human adipose, orfat, tissue and engineer them into “suicide genes” that seek out and destroy tumors like tiny homing missiles. This gene therapy approach is a novel way to attack smalltumor metastases that evade current detection techniques andtreatments, the researchers...
