Exploring the Science Behind Neoantigen Discovery from Mutations to Proteins
Seven Bridges Genomics - The biomedical data analysis company
by Jeffrey Brabec, PhD, Scientific Partner at Velsera
6M ago
Contributors: Julie Gil, Ph.D., Sarah Kleinstein, Ph.D., Cera Fisher, Ph.D., Dennis Dean Ph.D., and Kristina Clemens Ph.D. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us gained first-hand experience of the efficacy of mRNA vaccines. Twenty years of dedicated research in the general application of mRNA vaccines fueled the rapid delivery of the specific and extremely effective inoculation for a virulent and incredibly awful new illness (here, your author speaks from personal experience). But vaccine usefulness doesn’t stop at your annual covid and flu shots. Vaccines teach your immune system to recogn ..read more

Unlocking BioCompute Objects: Velsera’s Commitment to Interoperability and Regulatory Excellence
Seven Bridges Genomics - The biomedical data analysis company
by Biran Lassiter
7M ago
At Velsera, we’re passionate about paving the way for the future of bioinformatics and regulatory excellence. We collaborated with the BioCompute Object (BCO) community to develop the BCO standard for communicating complex Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) workflows for regulatory review and developed an award-winning app that generates BCOs from complex workflows. The emerging challenge in the world of BBCOs is to demonstrate their interoperability.  BCO tools are rapidly evolving, both within and external to the Food & Drug Administration (FDA). We’re excited to take the lead in this ..read more

Making the Impossible, Possible: Harnessing the Cloud to Uncover Rare Somatic Variations in Cancer Patients
Seven Bridges Genomics - The biomedical data analysis company
by Cera Fisher
8M ago
Limited by computational resources, the Khiabanian lab at Rutgers needed a breakthrough.   The lab was looking at rare changes in blood cells linked to a condition called CHIP (clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential). This condition has been associated with certain types of treatment-induced cancers as well as resistance to cancer treatments. Most people study CHIP by genomic sequencing of whole blood samples. However, the Khiabanian lab believed they might detect these changes in trace blood cells present in tumor tissues. If true, this would allow them to use many existing ..read more

Advancing Multi-omics Analysis by Co-localizing Data, Workflows, and Computation
Seven Bridges Genomics - The biomedical data analysis company
by Jeffrey Brabec, PhD
8M ago
The power – and increasing cost-effectiveness – of ‘omic technologies has provided groundbreaking insights into the underpinnings of biology and has revolutionized the process of target and drug discovery.  A method like transcriptomics can provide a snapshot of genetic activity under certain conditions while proteomics can tell us which of those transcripts are being translated into proteins, providing a more detailed mechanism to understand the functional implications of post-translational modifications. Critically, while each of these methods provides incredible detail about specific l ..read more

Unlocking Insights: Accelerating Precision Medicine with Multi-Omics and Collaborative Platforms
Seven Bridges Genomics - The biomedical data analysis company
by Dennis A. Dean, II, PhD
9M ago
I have long been fascinated with data’s power to drive new insights, including developing a deeper understanding of human physiology/pathophysiology, informing decision-making, and guiding the development of new treatment options. Often novel complex analysis methods are linked to specialized visualizations to drive the development and use of these insights. My fascination has grown into a career that aims to decrease the time required to go from data to insight.   I recently presented a webinar titled, Ushering a New Era of Precision Medicine with Muti-Omics, I reviewed several real ..read more

This month represented an important step forward in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease with Eli Lilly announcing the successful results of their phase III clinical trials for their monocolonal antibody (mAB) donanemab. In addition to decreasing the overall amyloid burden, patients on the drug showed slowed disease progression and sustained performance on standardized dementia screenings.   This trial and others have given credence to the amyloid hypothesis of Alzheimer’s disease which posits that the accumulation of beta-amyloid protein in the brain is a central contributor to the ..read more
