Description:

Scripps Translational Science Institute works to translate the latest advances in genomics into new diagnostics and treatments. In collaboration with Scripps Genomic Medicine, STSI researchers have collected DNA to generate a comprehensive human DNA bank. These samples could help identify genetic markers for cardiovascular disease, breast, colon and prostate cancers. and other conditions. STSI and Scripps Genomic Medicine investigators have also partnered with Affymetrix, Microsoft, and Navigenics to determine whether personal genomic testing motivates people to make positive lifestyle changes.
