Abstract:
Recently President Obama announced the Precision Medicine Initiative of the National Institutes of Health, which should impact the general biomedical research around the world. I would describe first briefly an exome approach on NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) variations, and next a knowledge-based approach in Science Translational Medicine 2014. Finally, I would report on some results in my lab on diagnosis, therapy and prognosis.
