Illumina Helped the World Fight COVID-19. Now, CEO Francis deSouza Has Monkeypox in His Sights
As chief executive of San Diego-based genomic sequencing company Illumina, Francis deSouza feels well-placed to witness the world’s next great scientific transformation.
“I really believe that just like the 20th century was the era of the bit and the digital revolution, the 21st century is likely to be remembered as the era of the genome,” he says. “We’re seeing that play out in terms of genomic-based screening and diagnostics emerging, like Illumina’s offerings, but we’re also seeing the emergence of genomic-based medicine.”
DeSouza’s excitement is understandable. Well...

Research identifies, exploits vulnerability in certain high-risk cancers
In a study recently published in Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, a team of researchers led by C. Patrick Reynolds, M.D., Ph.D., director for the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) School of Medicine Cancer Center, sought to expand upon his lab's previous research that showed ALT tumors identified by a biomarker known as C-circles share a common biology that confers vulnerabilities to be exploited for cancer therapy.

Recent cancer diagnosis or treatment lowers COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness, UK Covid Vaccine Research Hub
This new study, published in the European Journal of Cancer, set out to evaluate the effectiveness of the third vaccine dose in over 360,000 people with cancer, compared to the general population, using data from Public Health England ' s national cancer dataset between December 2020 to December 2021. Overall, the researchers found that third vaccines doses were less effective in people with cancer than in the general population and concluded that many people with cancer remain at increased risk of infection, even after three doses. Lower vaccine effectiveness was found to be associated with: a cancer diagnosis in the pr...

Research shows investigational drug fosters nerve repair after injury
Scientists from the University of Birmingham have shown that a brain-penetrating candidate drug currently in development as a cancer therapy can foster regeneration of damaged nerves after spinal trauma.
The research, published in Clinical and Translational Medicine, used cell and animal models to demonstrate that when taken orally the candidate drug, known as AZD1390, can block the response to DNA damage in nerve cells and promote regeneration of damaged nerves, so restoring sensory and motor function after spinal injury.

Scientists pinpoint new brain target for antinausea drugs
Whether we’ve got the flu or have had too much to drink, most of us have experienced nausea. Unlike other universal sensations such as hunger and thirst, however, scientists still don’t understand the biology behind the feeling—or how to stop it. A new study in mice identifies a possible key player: specialized brain cells that communicate with the gut to turn off the feeling of nausea.
It’s an “elegant” study, says Nancy Thornberry, CEO of Kallyope, a biotechnology company focused on the interplay between the gut and the brain. Further research is needed to translate the finding into antinausea therapies...
