Accurate detection methods are essential for reducing the spread of antimicrobial-resistant strains. Clinically relevant isolates with validated susceptibility and genetic data enable precision during diagnostic development.

Seoul National University Hospital is spearheading efforts to integrate clinical research and medical care.

Artificial intelligence and big data could help overcome some of medicine’s biggest challenges, say researchers at South Korea’s Yonsei University.

Scientific advancement depends on a strong foundation of data credibility. However, scientific findings in biomedical research are not always reproducible. Meet the organizations that are promoting best practices and helping researchers perform the highest-quality science.

Gene-editing tools such as CRISPR/Cas9 can be used to create isogenic cell lines, which can be further used to model a specific patient population. An isogenic cell line was created to model cancer patients with the echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 (EML4)-anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion oncogene and tested for its sensitivity to inhibitors of ALK.

Even limited adoption of smart technology can dramatically improve a scientist’s research productivity

During the 2016 commencement ceremony at Harvard University, one man was the focus of much attention. He Jiang, then a doctoral student in biochemistry, became the first Chinese citizen ever to give a commencement speech at the historic Ivy League institution. Six years ago, He graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). A boy from a village in central China, He’s path to discovery — using single-virus tracking, super-resolution imaging (STORM) to understand more about how influenza infects cells — started at USTC.

A suite of unique initiatives is driving better care for rare disease patients in Japan and beyond.
