Genomics

I plan to pursue a PhD in Biomedical Sciences with an emphasis on genomics as a way to fulfill my desire for helping others. In 2017, I experienced a mysterious medical issue that does not have a definitive cure. This is what began my desire for helping others by assisting in finding cures or new ways to more effectively treat diseases. Through Biomedical Sciences, I am able to make contributions to the fields of biology and medicine. A PhD in Biomedical Sciences is not typical of a person…

during it. Data collected to build MOOMs in Horizon-2 can be used to study effects of medicines and treatments on a large number of patients, and reduce the number of insignificant drug explorations conducted in the industry right now. Combining genomic knowledge with this could potentially eliminate the long clinical trials by selecting individuals who might be best suited for each application. This would also decrease the overall cost of trials. The use of artificial intelligence will also…

Analyzing the Genetic Gap in Nursing Education The World Health Organization states that “the role of genetic research is indispensable in the ever challenging fields of diagnosis and treatment of genetic disorders, infectious diseases and non-communicable diseases” (WHO, Genetic Research, para 1, n.d). While the importance of genetics in disease and illness management is apparent, the translation into nursing practice remains unclear. A study conducted showed that although nurses and midwives…

Importance of studying cancer Cancer is a vastly complex disease exhibiting a plethora of genomic alterations and resulting regulatory failures at the root of its progression. Following the milestone of the Human Genome Project (HGP) era, researchers are now focusing on integrating the rich genome-wide association studies (GWAS), single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data, and identified gene signatures within the in vitro, in vivo and clinical frameworks to further our understanding of the…

reduction, and on cultural competence. New Theory Based on above mentioned gaps the new theory I would like to develop; Theory of genomic health promotion and disease prevention to improve quality of life. Purpose of the theory The main purpose of this theory is to improve knowledge of biologic and genomic mechanisms in health promotion and enable healthcare systems to improve prevention…

The health care field has been revolutionized by advances in genomics and molecular biology which have provided the necessary tools required to identify the hereditary component, susceptibility, disease process, and pharmacological response of numerous diseases. According to Perry, Hockenberry, Lowdermilk, and Wilson (2010), there is a genetic component associated with almost all human illnesses affecting individuals of all ages, socioeconomic levels, race, ethnicity or religious beliefs.…

Therapeutic techniques for schizophrenia as determined by pathophysiology and genomic influence. I. Schizophrenia is a heritable disorder that is caused by nucleotide polymorphisms on over 100 different gene loci and counting. This neuropsychiatric disorder is thought to be influenced by microRNA abnormalities that provide psychological markers traceable through a patient’s genome to afford early detection (He 2017). Genomic studies uncovered that schizophrenia can be caused by various alleles…

Group 1: Linda Savinova, Shervin Mobasheri, Krunal Zala CIS 4910 Professor Schwartz 10/16/2015 The Influence of Software on The Modern World The digital influence of software has brought convenience to everyday activities by creating a seamless integrated experience across all channels of daily operations. A new structured approach in the form of software has created a variety of interactive relationships reflected in a variety of industries. This paper aims to reflect the impact of software on…

make fragment patterns which could then be compared to colleagues’ genomic ancestry. Before use, all restriction enzymes were incubated overnight at 37 ˚C because this is their optimal temperature. All gels were analyzed using bio spectrum imaging. The second gel had conditions like the original gel with a 1% agarose gel (in TAE), and electrophoresed our PCR products again at 100 volts for 30 minutes to separate them from the genomic…

Decoding the hidden patterns in gene expression data makes it easier to understand functional genomics. The intricacy of biological networks and a huge number of genes present increases the complexity of interpreting mass data. It consists of millions of variables resulting in imprecision, ambiguity and noise. Very important step to address these…
