What Is Personalized Medicine?

Thu, 13 Mar 2014 12:00:36 -0500

Gene Screen BC 2011 Participant. The goal of this short film is to introduce the audience to the emerging field of personalized cancer treatment. The story is loosely based on a rare case studied at the BC Cancer Agency's Genome Sciences Centre. The study, to the best of our knowledge, was the first in the world to examine a single individual's cancer genome in order to determine the best course of therapy where no established treatment regimen existed.

A massive, groundbreaking new study underway at Kaiser Permanente and the University of California San Francisco may shed light one day on the genetic roots of diseases such as Parkinson's, cancer, Alzheimer's. We asked people in San Francisco's Union Square for their take on this question: If a genetic test revealed you were at high risk for getting a disease, would want to know?

Molecular Genetics Lecture

Rahul Agarwal — Fri, 27 Sep 2013 04:24:45 -0500

"Robert Sapolsky makes interdisciplinary connections between behavioral biology and molecular genetic influences. He relates protein synthesis and point mutations to microevolutionary change, and discusses conflicting theories of gradualism and punctuated equilibrium and the influence of epigenetics on development theories."

"Robert Sapolsky is an American neuroendocrinologist, professor of biology, neuroscience, and neurosurgery at Stanford University, researcher and author" ----Wikipedia

Sharing a million genomes: Yves Moreau at TEDxbrussels

Sun, 03 Nov 2013 19:04:25 -0600

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
