At that reduced cost, clinical laboratories in developing countries with no access to WGS could have it as a critical tool in their fight against the spread of deadly bacteria and viruses New research into a low-cost way to sequence bacterial genomes—for as little as $10—is predicted to give public health authorities in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) a new tool with which to more quickly identify and control disease outbreaks. This new approach offers an alternative to more expensive...

Goal is to apply differential equations with pharmacogenomics to better predict a patient’s response to prescription drugs, a development that could create role for pathologists to help clinicians interpret the data from such medical lab testing New approaches to mathematical modeling are poised to transform pharmaceutical drug research and development—and create new opportunities in clinical laboratory testing down the road. U.S. and Chinese scientists have developed statistical models that...
