Genomics Branch: Cancer Genetics and Comparative

Identifying and discovering genes that influence cancer progression and susceptibility is the objective of this branch.
Overview
The research study deals with cell mutations that have resulted in cancer exposure and progression of different aggressive cancers such as endometrial cancer, prostate, lung, bladder, gastric and neck cancers.
Inherited genetic mutation can result in the production of tumors that are acquired over time. Genomic alterations cause tumor growth and metastases in some cases. The investigation includes methodologies to expose genomic mutation that causes tumor formation and production.

Social and Behavioral Science Research

A Study on COVIDCode

The human body uses specific genetic instructions to develop and grow. Alterations in genes are a probable cause of many medical diseases and a possible cause why other people are more susceptible to get sick than others. COVID-19 is a life-threatening health problem, and scientists believe that genetics may identify the severity of the illness in certain people.
Moreover, the study’s goal is to explore the contributions of genes to the seriousness of COVID-19. Through …

Research Study on ADHD

The research study on Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is about discovering the genetic factors involved and developing treatment strategies for future use.
ADHD is known to be hereditary. Thus, the presence of genetic components related to this disorder is possible as per research studies. Additionally, scientists think that other non-genetic factors may significantly affect this disorder, such as brain injury, environmental factors, and abnormal development of the brain.
Furthermore, the ADHD study’s long-term goal is to aid in the diagnosis, advance treatment, particularly the person-centered treatment …

Genomic Medicine

Genomic medicine is modifying the future of medicine. It is an emerging medical specialty involving using the genomic information of a human being for diagnosis, making therapeutic decisions, and overall health outcomes. Genomic medicine makes a difference in other medical areas such as pharmacology, oncology, rare and infectious diseases.
Human Genome Project is a national project underpinning knowledge and research to provide public awareness and understanding of diseases and enhance health. Over the years, ‘precision medicine’ was introduced and utilized environmental exposure, genomics, and other data to develop an accurate …
