Quibble til the cows come home - I remain focussed on the ultimate goal here - PRECISION MEDICINE!
-
Collaborative/partnership working is the future for AGL. To build something - it’s done brick by brick.
-
The words - Genomics, Transcriptomics, and Proteomics were thrown at us by AN in the EISAI RNS.
-
•GENOMICs is the large-scale study of all of the DNA that makes up a given organism or system.
•TRANSCRIPTOMICs is the study of the complete set of RNA produced by the genome of a given organism or population of cells.
•PROTEOMICs is the large-scale study of a set of proteins that are produced and/or modified in a given organism or system.
•From the RNS “The use of CTC biomarkers in clinical trials is a RAPIDLY GROWING FIELD“
-
The introduction of next generation sequencing (NGS) for DNA sequencing has SIGNIFICANTLY ACCELERATED the study of GENOMICs, allowing for many discoveries that are ADVANCING science and human health. This is particularly true with the ADVENT of PRECISION MEDICINE.
-
I previously highlighted the increased investment coming to the sector and government support. The NHS quote “Our vision is that the power of genomics in predicting, preventing and diagnosing disease, and targeting treatment is accessible to all as part of routine care in the NHS”.
“Our ambition over the NEXT FIVE YEARs is to ACCELERATE embedding the USE of GENOMIC MEDICINE across the NHS, providing a world leading, equitable service to populations and individuals”.

Do some still question AGLs ability to add value to this market? Think:
•Drug development
•Drug trails on patients
•Patients Monitoring (before and after drug approval).
-
Tie yesterday’s RNS with all the above and it all makes sense. Dr Karen Miller nailed it “We are particularly excited about finding such high levels of ADDITIONAL VARIENTs in the CTCs that are NOT present in ctDNA, as this provides potentially additional information for the clinicians on which to BASE their TREATMENT OPTIONs."
-
I also liked point number five (5). As well as the unique insight provided by DNA analysis of the CTCs harvested by the Parsortix system, the CTC sample offers the potential to EXTEND the ANALYSIS from DNA to RNA, protein, and morphological analysis of CTCs and CTC clusters, all of which together make the intact living cancer cell (CTC) the best sample for repeat non-invasive testing to DRIVE PERSONALISED CARE for cancer patients.

I am pleased to see long standing/knowledgeable AGL holders stand firm on a BB that has once again become saturated with garbage.
