Hot summer days and a large body of water might sound like a recipe for relief when temperatures soar, but the same conditions can make lakes, ponds, and inland swim beaches the ideal place for harmful algal bloom (HAB) events to flourish.
Katrina Claw, PhD, a Navajo geneticist and DBMI assistant professor, explains that Western science and medicine have historically ignored and underestimated the traditional knowledge of Native people.
New research led by DBMI secondary faculty member Fan Zhang, PhD, and Anna Helena Jonsson, MD, PhD, may lead to new targeted treatments for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune disease that causes joint inflammation and destruction.
“The methods proposed have the power to advance healthcare best practices in personalized medicine on national, regional and local scales,” says DBMI professor Melissa Haendel, PhD, chief research informatics officer with CU Anschutz and the principal investigator of the grant.
“Some genes we identified are related to sensory pathways – including those for taste, smell, and texture – and may also increase the reward response in the brain,” said lead author Joanne Cole, PhD, assistant professor of Biomedical Informatics department at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
