The Indiana Institute for Personalized Medicine explores how genetic information and environmental exposure affect each person's risk to develop certain diseases and response to medication.
The Institute examines how this new model of genome-informed personalized healthcare may be translated in clinical settings to advance the practice, delivery and economics of health care.
While personalized medicine is transforming the health system as we know it, we are bridging the gap between genomics research and patient care.

The honor will be presented at the American Geriatrics Society annual meeting in Seattle in May. Read more... Posted on February 28, 2012 IIPM Associate Director Bryan Schneider, MD: 2012 Forty Under 40 From IBJ.com Dr. Bryan Schneider is an associate professor of medicine at the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center. He holds appointments in the Divisions of Hematology/Oncology and Clinical Pharmacology in the Department of Medicine with a secondary appointment in the Department of Medical and Molecular Genetics. He is a recipient of the prestigious Komen Promise Award and his achievements in breast cancer research have earned him a spot on this year's celebrated IBJ Forty Under 40 list. Read his full story and watch the interview online at the Indianapolis Business Journal. Cocktail of Popular Drugs May Cloud Brain From The New York Time Health Blog Many people are unaware that dozens of painkillers, antihistamines and psychiatric medications — from drugstore staples to popular antidepressants — can adversely affect brain function, mostly in the elderly. Regular use of multiple medications that have this effect has been linked to cognitive impairment and memory loss. Read more... From Indianapolis Discovery Network for Dementia (IDND) To assist with the recognition of these medications, Dr. Malaz A. Boustani and an interdisciplinary team developed the Anticholinergic Cognitive Burden (ACB) list as a practical tool that identifies the severity of anticholinergic effects on cognition of both prescription and over-the-counter medications.

Posted on August 22, 2011 Johns Hopkins Lands $30M for Personalized Cancer Center From the GenomeWeb Daily News The Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center will use a $30 million donation from the Commonwealth Foundation for Cancer Research to fund a new center that will focus on genomics and personalized cancer medicine research. Read more... Posted on August 10, 2011 The Path to Personalized Medicine From the The New England Journal of Medicine Major investments in basic science have created an opportunity for significant progress in clinical medicine. Researchers have discovered hundreds of genes that harbor variations contributing to human illness, identified genetic variability in patients' responses to dozens of treatments, and begun to target the molecular causes of some diseases. In addition, scientists are developing and using diagnostic tests based on genetics or other molecular mechanisms to better predict patients' responses to targeted therapy. Read more... |
