Current research on aging has largely focused the molecular mechanisms of age - related diseases, and mitochondrial dysfunction has been associated
with several human diseases of aging.
«Over the last decade, geneticists have identified hundreds of genetic risk factors
for several human diseases, but the functional consequences of those factors on relevant cells are largely unknown,» said Towfique Raj, PhD, BWH Department of Neurology and a postdoctoral scholar at the Broad Institute, lead study author.
The granted projects focus
on several human diseases including leukemia and Alzheimer's disease as well as the study of biodiversity of organisms as diverse as barnacles, mycorrhiza and rabbits.
The granted projects within the Genomes Program focus on
several human diseases including leukemia, type 2 diabetes, and malignant brain tumors (Glioblastomas) but also on the genetic background to adverse drug reactions (ADR).
His laboratory also identified and
characterized several human disease genes, including those implicated in certain forms of hereditary deafness, vascular disease, and inherited peripheral neuropathy.
The research institute segment is anticipated to exhibit profitable growth due to increasing R&D efforts in the biotech industry as monoclonal antibodies have emerged as a major class of therapeutics
for several human diseases, particularly immunological infectious diseases and cancer
«How environment contributes to
several human diseases.»
These steps may ultimately lead to
several human diseases.
