Hi everyone
I need to know the top (10) laboratories or institutes or universities around the world that research and work on the Personalized Medicine, better to have a focus on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and/or Genome Data Analysis (the computer science aspect of PM).
I can't find a good answer through the web, Would you help me?
Thanks
What metric of "top" would you like? Most cited? Best to work for?
More importantly, what is personalised medicine? Because i've been going to the doctor for years due to my migraines, and he always just prescribes me the special of the day. Sometimes it's antibiotitcs. Sometimes he puts my arm in a cast. Mostly though he just gives me more birth control tablets. If you're saying theres a better, more personalized, form of medicine, I want in on that! :D
The National Human Genome Research Institute (US) might be a first place to look up. Its director (Eric D. Green) gave a speech on personalized medicine at my university and is pretty much into it, but I was working in the lab....
I echo with John, you have to be a bit detailed about the metrics that let you narrow down the top. Also the word Personalized Medicine is really misunderstood as the word big data. Even I am still trying to understand it big time now. Rest assured for Genome Data Analysis you have places like Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Wash-U, Broad, Mayo Clinic. Scripps, Salk and many more to name, based on their quality of work w.r.t publications in recent years and impact on lifestyle. In Europe there is EBI,Sanger, EPFL,Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, ETH Zurich. However I believe if you want to ask a person @Khader Shameer who is more likely to give a good understanding. His take on precision medicine as far as I understood http://bib.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2016/02/13/bib.bbv118.short?rss=1
Caution I believe you have clear idea of difference between Personalized Medicine and Precision Medicine, you can check this link. Both are overlapping and interchangeably being used.
