"This grant is unique because it is not a big project focused on one very specific task," explains Miller. "It's a core center grant that provides infrastructure and acts as a facilitator for exposome-related research. Our hope is that this grant will lead to many other grants that are looking at specific questions about the exposome. It's a huge first step with equally huge potential to advance understanding of health and disease." Information about the HERCULES Center and exposome research is available at humanexposomeproject.com

Johnsson acknowledges that more clinical studies need to be done to support their findings before improved therapies can be developed. "There are approved sulfa drugs that do not inhibit SPR and these might be considered as replacements in cases where there are CNS side effects.  However, this approach would need to be tested first through careful clinical studies.  Also, we cannot rule out that some CNS side effects come from yet unknown interactions of sulfa drugs with other proteins."

"Too many women diagnosed with breast cancer assume that undergoing chemotherapy is the reality of their condition," said Agendia's David Macdonald. "Our company's goal is to empower these patients to educate themselves and to ask for powerful tools at their disposal, like the Symphony suite of tests, to determine if they actually need to undergo these often debilitating and costly treatments. We believe that ultimately the extension of that knowledge via social media educational resources will spare thousands of women the unnecessary toxic effects of chemotherapy, and will spare society the burden of administering ineffective treatments" looks at the activity of groups of genes within tumor tissue to provide a more comprehensive view of the specific cancer...
