• AI Technologies: Transforming Diagnostics and Personalising Treatment Plans

  Healthcare providers frequently create a significant volume of patient information and heterogeneous data.Thus, it is difficult for the "conventional techniques" to analyse, manage and extract patterns from medical datasets. AI facilitates effective analysis of this data for practical insights. Additionally, various data sources, including genetics, medical reports, biospecimens, medical images, among others can be used to supplement healthcare data.

• CSIR's 'Phenome India' project hits target with 10k samples; aims for new era in precision medicine

  Launched on 7th December 2023, the PI-CHeCK project aims to assess risk factors in non-communicable (cardio-metabolic) diseases within the Indian populace. This unique initiative has already enrolled nearly 10,000 participants, who have volunteered to provide comprehensive health data.

  

• The Role of Data Science in Revolutionizing Personalized Medicine and Drug Discovery

  ​Genomic data holds immense promise in personalized medicine. Advances in DNA sequencing technologies have made it possible to decode an individual's entire genome, uncovering genetic variations that may influence disease susceptibility, drug metabolism, and treatment outcomes. Data science techniques enable the interpretation of this complex data, identifying genetic markers associated with specific diseases or drug responses.

  

• The current era is one of precision medicine and personalised medicine

  Understanding the role of immunity in cancer management has opened a wide spectrum of immunity-based medicines, collectively known as immunotherapy. These various targeted therapies or genetically designed immunity cells (CAR-T cells, etc) are utilised for effective cancer treatment.
