Precision medicine is one of the most talked about trends in healthcare. The promise is improved health outcomes and patient satisfaction, gained through an understanding of individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle. Recent commentators suggest that many of the technologies required to realize this goal already exist—and predict much wider application can be achieved by 2030.
At the heart of a precision medicine approach is data—huge amounts of data.
Single-cell technologies have positioned themselves at the forefront of biomedical research. These platforms allow researchers to bypass the uncertainties of bulk data and instead interrogate biological systems at a level of detail that was previously unreachable. by Ruairi J MacKenzie
Paradigm4 has introduced the ‘Precision Cell Atlas’ as an integral component of its REVEAL: SingleCell app. The Precision Cell Atlas enables scientists to create a custom cell atlas by selectively combining an unlimited number of samples from multiple datasets for specific research objectives and explicitly saving them for collaboration, reuse,
Paradigm4’s Marilyn Matz and Zachary Pitluk discuss the challenges of integrating data from heterogeneous sources and how the company’s plaform and apps combine the cutting edge of computer science and a sensibility geared toward the unique needs of pharma and biopharma to provide end-to-end solutions.
