Pathogens, genetics, anatomy, environmental factors—how can we understand the complex mechanisms of human diseases? Jason Lu, PhD has dedicated his professional life to answering this question. With thousands of known diseases and an infinite combination of factors, it is a
A research team from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center has received a grant to identify new subtypes of cancer through variations in gene splicing. The group, led by Nathan Salomonis, PhD of the Division of Biomedical Informatics, will apply novel computational
Researchers at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center report in Genetics in Medicine two new computational methods to aid in computerized diagnosis of rare genetic diseases. Both methods are now freely available in a web application called GDDP, Genetic Disease Diagnosis
Matthew Weirauch, PhD, a computational biologist with Cincinnati Children’s Center for Autoimmune and Genomic Etiology and the Divisions of Biomedical Informatics and Developmental Biology, discusses here the informatics effort behind a new study published in Nature Genetics. In the study,
From making a diagnosis to tailoring treatment to an individual to someday curing disease, precision genomics is having a profound impact on healthcare. Cincinnati Children’s Center for Pediatric Genomics and the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine launched Precision Genomics
Alex Jiang is currently a sophomore at Cornell University majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Cognitive Science. In 2017, he participated in the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Program at Cincinnati Children’s under the mentorship of Anil Jegga,
A new video series featuring Cincinnati Children’s researchers explores how three of the world’s top children’s hospitals are working together on genomic research projects to understand the complexity of DNA. Peter S. White, PhD, and Anil Goud Jegga, DVM of the Division of Biomedical
CINCINNATI – Researchers at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center have described the first integrative analysis of disparate single-cell datasets applied to a single developmental system. The team used this approach to discover a new cellular source of GDNF, a protein
October 23, 2017—Researchers at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center are combining machine learning and systems biology to distinguish disease severity in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a lung disease that kills an estimated 40,000 people annually in the United States. Using
Cincinnati Children’s and the University of Cincinnati have joined together to launch the first genomics conference in the Midwest region. Precision Genomics Midwest will be held Friday, May 19 at the Kingsgate Marriott Conference Center. The conference focuses on genomic research, clinical translation, and ethics.
