🚨 BREAKTHROUGH in #CHD research! .Conratulations @RobLesurf and @seema_mital #Genomics #AIinHealthcare #PrecisionMedicine.
🔬New in #CHD research! Nearly 90% of cases remain genetically undiagnosed, but @RobLesurf and an international team led by @seema_mital at @SickKids have developed a new #AI model to detect genetic variants. Read about this leap in #precisionmedicine!. 🔗

Amazing collaborative work in #cancerresearch, #SKResearch co-led by our very own Program Head, Dr. Jason Moffat and @sheilasinghlab @machealthsci in a Canadian-American research collab 🇨🇦🇺🇸🧬🧠. @NatureMedicine @CIHR_IG @NRC_CNRC @UVA @PittTweet @pmcancercentre.
Co-led at SickKids and the @sheilasinghlab, #SKResearch in @NatureMedicine identifies pathway to destroy returning #cancer cells at least 50 per cent of the time in two of three pre-clinical #glioblastoma models. More ⤵️.
