A new COVID test promises to do what no other diagnostic tool has been capable of doing yet—diagnosing COVID in patients in just five minutes.

The development, hailed as a world first, could be the breakthrough to help get crowds back to sporting events and festivals across the UK this summer.

 E-Mail The Seaver Autism Center for Research and Treatment at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Rumi Scientific announced today that they will team up to initiate a drug discovery pipeline for rare genetic disorders that carry a high risk of autism. The project will initially involve the development and use of a platform that mimics the development of brain tissues, at high speed, allowing researchers to gain insights into how cells respond to three known genes implicated in aut...

Study discovers new measures to predict risk of bowel diseases ANI | Updated: Dec 27, 2020 23:01 IST Washington [US], December 27 (ANI): Mount Sinai researchers claim to have discovered new measures to predict risk for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) including Crohns disease and ulcerative colitis. The study published in the research journal Gastroenterology shows that the polygenic risk scores, built using association data from multiple populations in Mo...

Using genetic data from nearly 30,000 people, Mount Sinai researchers have built risk scores from a combination of datasets representing distinct ancestral populations that improve prediction of risk for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The study was published in Gastroenterology on December 24.

New study illustrates how studying diverse populations can help predict patient outcomes and reduce health disparities

(December 24, 2020) Using genetic data from nearly 30,000 people, Mount Sinai researchers have built risk scores from a combination of datasets representing distinct ancestral populations that improve prediction of risk for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. The study was published in Gastroenterology on December 24. The researchers found that polygenic risk scores, built using association data from multiple populations in Mount Sinai’s mult...

 E-Mail Results from the first national study of children with cancer who test positive from COVID-19 has found that these patients do not appear to be at any increased risk of severe COVID-19 infection compared to healthy children. Led by the University of Birmingham, the study analysed the severity of COVID-19 infection in children with cancer. Published in the British Journal of Cancer, results found that the majority of patients either had mild infections or were asymptomatic. No patients...
