Frequently asked questions

What is Genomics and how does it relate to genetic-based treatment?

Genomics refers to the study of an organism's complete set of DNA, including all its genes. Genetic-based treatments utilize this understanding to target specific gene alterations in disease.

What is Pharmacogenomics and how does it predict drug response?

Pharmacogenomics examines the influence of an individual’s genetic makeup on their response to medications. This allows for personalized drug selection and dosage based on predicted reactions.

What is Biomarkers and how does biomarker-based stratification work?

Biomarkers are measurable indicators of a biological state or condition, such as disease presence. Biomarker-based stratification groups patients based on their biomarker profiles to tailor treatment strategies.

What is Activity Monitoring and how does it track physical activity?

Activity monitoring utilizes sensors to continuously track an individual’s physical activity levels, providing valuable data for health and fitness applications.
