The drug approvals of Yescarta (axicabtagene ciloleucel), Luxturna (Voretigene neparvovec) and Kymriah (Tisagenlecleucel) have turned a leaf in the pharmaceutical chapter of gene therapy development. Currently, genetic disorders do not have satisfactory treatment outcomes. This is in part due to the inability of small molecule drugs and enzyme repl...

Clinical genomics regained significance during the pandemic with the development of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, and several non-invasive at-home test kits; an unprecedented feat in recent times. Genomics will take center stage, as large genome sequencing and research will continuously create data for new therapeutics. Artificial Intelligence (AI) an...

Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis or NASH is a liver disorder that is characterized by the build-up of fat in liver in addition to inflammation and liver cell damage eventually progressing to cirrhosis. Currently lifestyle interventions are suggested for the treatment of NASH with no drugs having been approved for the condition. Multiple drugs are at ...

Diabetes has exhibited dramatic increases during the past decade, registering a global prevalence of 9% among adults aged 18 years and older, and is projected to be the 7th-leading cause of death by 2030. The most popular treatment for type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is multiple daily insulin (MDI) injections. However, researchers globally are work...

As healthcare evolves toward personalized solutions, everyday consumers are proactively taking responsibility for their health in ways unimaginable a decade ago. A direct-to-consumer genetic test (DTCGT) exemplifies this trend which can be purchased and used directly by consumers without the requirement of a prescription from a healthcare provider....

Picture archiving communication systems (PACS) were a real game changer 3 decades ago when, in combination with radiology information systems (RIS), they enabled rapid digitalization of medical imaging data. Today, Southeast Asia again stands at the brink of transformation as RIS PACS enter their second or third generation of deployment. In an effo...

Interest in the microbiome as a science and industry has exploded over the past decade. Innovations are happening across 3 significant categories for human health benefits: microbiome-based therapeutics, over-the-counter (OTC) dietary supplements, and self-diagnostics/screening. The OTC market is the largest because of the lack of precise regulatio...

Pharmaceutical drug discovery and development processes suffer from declining success rates and a stagnant pipeline. Artificial Intelligence (AI) supported by Big Data could be a key element that can provide an effectual solution. There has been a rapid growth in the data generated within the life sciences and pharmaceutical industries. This stems ...
