Unfortunately, infants with some genetic diseases appear healthy at birth, but then rapidly deteriorate—they become lethargic, stop eating, develop seizures, and may progress to coma—symptoms common to a variety of metabolic disorders
Dr. Aimée Dudley’s lab at PNRI has developed a powerful set of scientific tools that addresses a critical, unmet need in the diagnosis of patients with urea cycle disorders.
A multimillion-dollar grant enables investigators to turn the tide on transmissible cancers in shellfish on both U.S. coasts.
That holiday stress you’re feeling may have everything to do with your genes.
The key to learning about cancer evolution in humans may be found by studying a surprising organism: the clam.
Mentorship is an integral part of science. Each summer, scientists at PNRI mentor college students as part of our eight-week Summer Undergraduate Science Internship Program.
In the not-so-distant past, a typical doctor’s visit for many of us might have focused on problematic symptoms or an ongoing physical health issue. We didn’t expect to discuss social stressors like demanding jobs, family obligations, financial hardships, or the recent death of a loved one.
On March 31, 2022, scientists from the Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) consortium announced a historic first in the field of human genetics: they successfully sequenced an entire human genome, essentially completing the work started by the Human Genome Project.
Dr. Lisa Stubbs recently discussed the connection between genetics and chronic stress on KOMO-TV.
PNRI Principal Investigator Bill Hagopian, MD, PhD, discusses his research, the connection between type 1 diabetes and celiac, and his hopes for the future of diagnosis and treatment.
