CAGPM team studies host response to SARS-CoV-2
CAGPM faculty and staff showed that the transcriptome in peripheral blood reveals unique aspects of the immune response in COVID-19 and provides for novel biomarker-based approaches to diagnosis.
Evaluating Transcriptomic Biomarkers' Role in Early Identification of Viral Infections
CAGPMers monitored Duke students and close contacts who developed respiratory tract infection symptoms, demonstrating transcriptomal biomarkers' ability to accurately predict and diagnose infection.
NLP Methods Outperform Structured Data Approach When Identifying Patients With PAD
Ricardo Henao and team investigated natural language processing methods to identify patients with peripheral artery disease, offering a more effective alternative to the structured data-based approach.
The Importance of Family Health History
Susanne Haga and Lori Orlando provide an overview of various risk assessment approaches and their benefits, limitations and implementation challenges.
VA PHASER program brings free PGx testing to veterans
Deepak Voora, T32 fellow Olivia Dong and team have been working on the Veterans Affairs Pharmacogenomic Testing for Veterans clinical program, which offers free, multi-gene pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing for 250,000 veterans over 5 years.
Variation in SARS-CoV-2 Infections Found Among Children
Chris Woods and team observed age-related variability in SARS-CoV-2 symptoms between children and adolescents, as well as Hispanic ethnicity and history of asthma playing a role in infection risk.
