The GenOMICC study is a global research initiative aiming to uncover genetic factors that influence susceptibility to and outcomes from critical illnesses like COVID-19, sepsis, and influenza. By analysing DNA samples from critically ill patients, the study seeks to identify specific genes that may affect disease severity and patient survival.
In my role, I was involved in recruiting participants and collecting data, contributing to the study's efforts to understand how genetics impact critical illness outcomes.
The Generation Study is a pioneering UK research initiative aiming to sequence the genomes of 100,000 newborns to identify over 200 rare, treatable genetic conditions early in life. By analysing DNA from umbilical cord blood shortly after birth, the study seeks to enhance early diagnosis and intervention, potentially improving health outcomes for affected infants.
While our hospital isn't yet recruiting for this study, I am preparing to support it through participant recruitment and data collection once it launches. I'm eager to contribute to this groundbreaking project that could transform the future of newborn screening and personalized medicine.
