Partnership with Danaher paves way for precision medicine test for sepsis

General Research

The University of Oxford today announced a partnership with Danaher Corporation to develop a new test to enable precision medicine care for sepsis, a pathological immune response to infection that accounts for one in five deaths globally each year.

Mexican Biobank launches Mexico’s most complete genetic database to date

A study, done as a part of a joint venture between Mexico’s Cinvestav UGA-Langebio and NDM’s Wellcome Centre for Human Genetics, has revealed an enormously rich tapestry of genetics revealing population histories and diverse genetic make-up of the Mexican population.

Evidence shows COVID-19 triggers sustained inflammatory gene expression

In a study, recently published in Genomics Medicine, researchers from NDM’s Wellcome Centre for Human Genetics and the CAMS Oxford Institute investigated the long-term impact of COVID-19 on immune cells

STRUBI researchers validate IBM’s AI-generated COVID antivirals

In a new study, researchers from IBM and NDM’s Division of Structural Biology and Wellcome Centre for Human Genetics show that new antivirals can be designed with the help of artificial intelligence (AI), developed and potentially validated in month
