Omicia has appointed Heidi Rehm, Geoffrey Ginsberg, Thomas Quertermous, and Mark Yandell to its scientific advisory board. Rehm is director of the Laboratory for Molecular Medicine at Partners Healthcare Personalized Medicine and associate professor of pathology at Harvard Medical School. Ginsberg is director of genomic medicine at the Duke Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy, executive director of Duke's Center for Personalized Medicine and Precision, and a professor of medicine and biomedical engineering. Quertermous is the William G. Irwin professor of medicine and director of research for the division of cardiovascular medicine at Stanford University. Yandell is co-director of the University of Utah's USTAR Center for Genetic Discovery and a professor of human genetics, and a co-inventor of Omicia's VAAST and Phevor algorithms. Adaptive Biotechnologies has tapped Dean Schorno to be chief financial officer. Schorno held leadership positions at Genomic Health over a 13-year period, including most recently as CFO, where he helped manage the launch and operations of the company's clinical lab. Cepheid said this week that it has appointed Peter Farrell as executive vice president of international commercial operations. He replaces Philippe Jacon, who the company had named head of worldwide commercial operations in January. Jacon is transitioning … Continue reading →

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 25-Jun-2014 Contact: Tiffany Trent ttrent@vt.edu 540-231-6822 Virginia Tech The incarceration rate has nearly quadrupled since the U.S. declared a war on drugs, researchers say. Along with that, racial disparities abound. Incarceration rates for black Americans are more than six times higher than those for white Americans, according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics. To explain these growing racial disparities, researchers at Virginia Tech are using the same modeling techniques used for infectious disease outbreaks to take on the mass incarceration problem. By treating incarceration as an infectious disease, the scientists demonstrated that small but significant differences in prison sentences can lead to large differences in incarceration rates. The research was published in June in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface. Incarceration can be "transmitted" to others, the researchers say. For instance, incarceration can increase family members' emotional and economic stress or expose family and friends to a network of criminals, and these factors can lead to criminal activity. Alternatively, "official bias" leads police and the courts to pay more attention to the incarcerated person's family and friends, thereby increasing the probability they will be caught, prosecuted and processed by the criminal justice system, researchers said. … Continue reading →
