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.
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.
Peptides play important roles in human physiology. They present as intact peptides or can arise from protein degradation. Regardless of the source, peptidomics—the characterization of intact peptides in a biological sample—is fast emerging as an approach to uncover another layer in human health and disease.
Paradigm4’s Marilyn Matz reflects on the understanding complex biological phenomena has required concurrent advances in experimental methods and computing power.
