Drug Resistance refers to microorganisms mutates and becomes insensitive to a drug that was previously effective. The term is used in the context of resistance that pathogens or cancers have "acquired", that is, resistance has evolved.
A recently discovered communication system used by cells to send messages across the human body promises to revolutionize our understanding of disease and how we treat it. Technologies based...
Success of the personalized medicine strategy depends on our ability to access the genetic variance landscape continuously before, during and after treatment. Liquid biopsies provide us...
Cell death is involved in diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration, and also has a natural role in the development of multicellular organisms. Although apoptosis has been well defined, a...
Precision medicine promises a more effective approach to disease treatment and management. It is based on analyzing mutations of disease samples to unlock mechanisms of disease development an...

The landscape for treatment options in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer has changed dramatically since 2010. There have been more therapies approved since 2010 than in the prio...
The antibiotic pipeline is broken, with a dearth of new antibiotics, a collapse in pharmaceutical company research1, and the exhaustion of chemical diversity contained in pharma libraries. "T...
In this talk, Sonia Shah interweaves history and original reportage to explore the origins of epidemics, drawing parallels between the story of cholera-one of history's most disruptive and de...
The world–as microbes perceive it–is composed of physical and chemical stimuli. These stimuli create conditions that result in life or death for microbes, affecting their survival...
Consistent accuracy in reporting quantitative viral load results is critically important to patients, their physicians and to the clinical laboratory. In clinical practice, quantitative viral...
Every major scientific and technological revolution in history has been driven by one thing: access to data. Today, the availability of Big Data from a wide variety of sources is transforming...
Structural pathways are important. They are essential to the understanding of how oncogenic mutations work and to figuring out alternative parallel pathways in drug resistant mutants. Structu...
The era of omics has ushered in the hope for personalized medicine. Proteomic and genomic strategies that allow unbiased identification of genes and proteins and their post-transcriptional a...
Fusion genes play a central role in many cancer types. They have been used to classify malignancy, risk factors, disease prognosis, and companion diagnostic biomarkers for certain approved dr...
The eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4E is an oncogene elevated in an estimated 30% of cancers. The traditional view is that eIF4E drives proliferation and survival by increasing t...
This presentation will focus on NuMediis general approach towards the discovery of new therapeutic uses for existing drugs. While the business models for repurposing marketed drugs versus rep...
Antibiotics are among the most important advances in the history of modern medicine. They turned often acutely fatal infections into treatable indications with radical cures. Antibiotics co...
Patients with chromosomal rearrangements resulting in fusion proteins are among the most responsive to published targeted therapy. For example, targeting of the EML4-ALK fusion in non-small c...
The use of biomarkers for the stratification of populations for therapy is a concept that holds the potential to revolutionize clinical trial design, the economics of healthcare, and most imp...
The human genome encodes ~21,500 proteins that are subject to reversible phosphorylation at nearly 1 million phosphosites by about 538 protein kinases and 156 protein phosphatases. Amongst ot...
One of the major challenges to oncology based drug discovery and development has been the limited or incremental impact that many targeted agents have exhibited in the clinic. Understanding a...
