Once in a while, it’s good to step back from the daily grind of lab operations, EMR integrations, and security reviews to reflect on the fundamental infrastructure that underpins modern healthcare: the clinical laboratory workforce. The diagnostic revolution—from Next Generation Sequencing to advanced molecular testing—has delivered incredible tools, but these tools are only as effective…
As we traverse the broader terrain of biomedical science, the recently emerging class of drugs, called incretin mimetics, stands out with a potential to significantly influence public health, particularly in the United States. These drugs, including Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) inhibitors such as liraglutide (Saxenda), semaglutide (Ozempic and Wegovy), and dulaglutide (Trulicity), ushers in a new…
Pharmacogenomics is an emerging field that is revolutionizing the way healthcare is delivered. By leveraging advancements in genomics and molecular biology, pharmacogenomics enables healthcare professionals to tailor treatments and medications to an individual’s genetic makeup. This means that medications are more targeted and effective and can be tailored to a patient’s specific needs. Pharmacogenomics can…
