Genetics plays a principal role in health and disease, and continues to become increasingly important for drug development. With genetic data, the focus is shifting from traditional trial-and-error approaches towards precision medicine. This data helps us to understand the genetic underpinnings of diseases, enabling the identification of potential drug targets and more personalised treatment strategies. In this blog, we explore the major sources of genetic data that drive advancements in drug discovery, ranging from genomic databases to cutting-edge sequencing technologies.
In the world of healthcare, genetics is ushering in a new era of personalised insights that are transforming how we approach healthcare. Our latest report, “The Genetic testing landscape: A look at the modern approach and the value of sponsored programs,” offers a valuable exploration of the evolving genetic testing landscape.
In the fast-paced world of medical research, patient advocacy groups have emerged as powerful drivers of change. One critical ingredient in their recipe for success is patient registries. These tools offer a direct relationship between patients and researchers, propelling medical advancements and accelerating the search for better treatments. Our newly released whitepaper, titled "Connecting communities: Engaging patients in registries for long-term impact," shares strategies and insights for patient advocacy groups that want to create impactful patient registries.
The rapidly evolving landscape of precision medicine has opened new avenues for personalised treatments, transforming how we approach patient care. Genetic information is now pivotal in tailoring medical interventions to individual needs. However, with this innovation comes a complex web of ethical and regulatory considerations that must be carefully navigated to ensure patient safety, data privacy, and ethical conduct. Here are the key insights and lessons from a recent Sano webinar in which Sarah Howard, our Head of Quality and Regulatory, shed light on the ethical and regulatory landscapes surrounding precision medicine.

The healthcare sector is constantly changing, with cutting-edge medical equipment, life-changing drugs, and innovative procedures evolving to provide care to patients around the globe. Genetic testing has become an integral tool within the sector over the past few years, offering new ways to understand and diagnose conditions, while providing a gateway to more personalised treatment options.
Genetics is reshaping the landscape of clinical research, and our latest whitepaper, "Guide: Genetics Essentials for Clinical Research Professionals," offers a concise yet comprehensive overview of this rapidly evolving field. This guide explores genetics' crucial role in drug development, discovery, and patient care.
Precision medicine marks a shift from the one-size-fits-all approach to healthcare to tailored treatments and interventions that cater to an individual's unique genetic makeup, lifestyle, and environment. While precision medicine has the potential to improve patient outcomes and speed up clinical trials, it relies on the participation of diverse and representative populations. Diversity ensures that medical insights are applicable across a wide range of individuals, preventing biassed results that may favour specific ethnic or demographic groups.
In this webinar, Patrick Short, CEO of Sano Genetics, discussed opportunities to improve clinical trial patient recruitment in decentralised clinical trials (DCT) with Joss Warren, the Vice President of Strategic Accounts at THREAD Research. Their discussion covered how DCTs are changing the clinical research landscape, and what they mean for diversity in clinical trials as well as the future of precision medicine.
