Pathway Genomics provides cutting-edge research and easy-to-read scientific information customized for you, and you alone, based on your genes and your lifestyle. For the first time in human history, modern science has made it possible for you to learn your genetic predisposition for more than 90 diseases and conditions, drug responses and pre-pregnancy carrier status. With this powerful knowledge and our easy-to-understand guidance, you can modify your health regime so that you may live a healthier, longer life. DNA testing will discover more about your personal heritage than you ever thought possible. We uncover your deep ancestry by taking giant leaps into the past, going back more than 10,000 years. We test both your mitochondrial DNA, which is passed down from mother to child and reveals your direct maternal ancestry; and your Y chromosome (males only), which is passed down from father to son and reveals your direct paternal ancestry. If you're like most people, you've always wondered about the genes you have inherited and what traits you will pass on to future generations. Discover your genetically inherited predispositions and characteristics and whether they are beneficial or potentially harmful. You may also find that some traits are simply fun to uncover.

The lab of Arthur Prochazka, whose research focuses on routing electrical current from surface electrodes to deep-lying nerves using implanted conductors. His research mostly focuses on muscle physiology. Current fields of research: * Stimulus Router System: A new family of implanted neuroprostheses. It comprises an implanted lead that picks up some of the current delivered through the skin by a surface stimulator and delivers it to a target nerve via a nerve cuff. The SRS has the advantages of an implanted stimulator: selectivity, reproducibility and convenience, at a fraction of the cost * Bionic Glove: Hand opening and closing stimulator for C5-C6 tetraplegic people. It is based on Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES). * In-home Telerehabilitation: Providing exercise sessions over the internet. * Interactive Receptor Model: An online model explaining muscle spindles and tendon organs. * Spinal Motoneuron Activity During Gait * Robocats: Mathematical models for locomotion. * Rigidity Analyzer: A better means of assessing rigidity. * General Research: Fundamental questions in our field of neurophysiology. * Spinal Cord Microstimulation: Restoring bladder function after spinal cord injury.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVCE, documented September 2, 2016. The mission of the C. elegans Gene Knockout Consortium is to facilitate genetic research of this important model system through the production of deletion alleles at specified gene targets. We choose targets based on investigator requests. Strains produced by the consortium are freely available with no restrictions to any investigator. At one time, our capacity dictated that we restrict requests to five per lab. This restriction no longer holds. Investigators are encouraged especially to register requests for functionally related groups of genes. Consortium strains are distributed by the C. elegans Genetic Center (CGC). In most cases, when you use the Consortium web site to request an existing allele, your request is forwarded automatically to the CGC. However, if you indicate that an existing allele is not satisfactory for your research, (for whatever reason), you may request that we generate another allele for the same target. Any information generated by the Consortium is entered into the official C. elegans data repository, WormBase.

http://clinicalinformatics.stanford.edu/projects/cdw.html

Research and development project at Stanford University to create a standards-based informatics platform supporting clinical and translational research. STRIDE consists of three integrated components: a clinical data warehouse, based on the HL7 Reference Information Model (RIM), containing clinical information on over 1.6 million pediatric and adult patients cared for at Stanford University Medical Center since 1995; an application development framework for building research data management applications on the STRIDE platform and a biospecimen data management system. STRIDE's semantic model uses standardized terminologies, such as SNOMED, RxNorm, ICD and CPT, to represent important biomedical concepts and their relationships. STRIDE receives clinical data for research use via HL7 feeds from both SUMC hospitals: Lucile Packard Children's Hospital and Stanford Hospital and Clinics. This clinical data is used to support a wide variety of translational research services including: * Anonymized Patient Research Cohort Discovery * Electronic Chart Review for Research * IRB-Approved Clinical Data Extraction * Biospecimen Data Management * Multimedia Research * Data Management and Research Registries STRIDE is a highly secure environment utilizing encryption, fine-grained access control, robust auditing and detailed data segregation. Additionally, STRIDE has a robust access control framework with well-defined access granting authorities and access control groups. Consequently STRIDE meets or exceeds the requirements of the HIPAA Privacy and Security regulations. Privacy protection is further enhanced by requiring IRB approval for all research projects using STRIDE clinical data. From a technology and standards perspective, STRIDE is hosted on the Oracle 11g database platform. STRIDE application software provides access to the web services of a three-tier infrastructures using SSL encryption with strong authentication. These programs are cross-platform, self-updating thick-client applications that provides a rich user interface for data entry, retrieval and review as well as image manipulation and annotation. STRIDE makes extensive use of XML technologies for representation of structured meta data, distributed systems technologies using JSON for secure remote communication between client and server, and Swing graphical interface components providing a rich widget-set as well as advanced imaging and graphing capabilities. Users of the STRIDE Research Desktop Client can perform rapid data entry into structured fields, compose complex queries, and interact securely with clinical, research and imaging data.

The Epilepsy Foundation of America is the national voluntary agency dedicated solely to the welfare of the almost 3 million people with epilepsy in the U.S. and their families. The organization works to ensure that people with seizures are able to participate in all life experiences; to improve how people with epilepsy are perceived, accepted and valued in society; and to promote research for a cure. :Typical of the Foundations national programs are its Jeanne A. Carpenter Epilepsy Legal Defense Fund, the H.O.P.E. (Helping Other People with Epilepsy) Mentoring Program, a Public Policy Institute, Seniors and Womens Health Initiatives, the Kids Speak Up advocacy program, a school personnel training program, outreach to youth and to the Hispanic community, employment programs and a research grants program. Services commonly provided in local communities are information and referral, counseling, patient and family advocacy, school and community education, support groups and camps for children. Its Web site offers the most comprehensive, medically approved consumer information about epilepsy and seizures on the Internet and is the trusted source for millions of people who seek reliable information about epilepsy. : Each year the Foundation also invites research investigators to apply for grants and fellowships to test new ideas and follow new research leads. The applications, more than a hundred in an average year, are ranked according to merit by a blue ribbon panel of research scientists, and funded according to available resources. Additionally, the Epilepsy Foundation offers a series of training fellowships in basic, clinical and behavioral science to scientists at the start of their careers. These fellowships, awarded to young people at the nation's leading research institutes, have in many cases been the first steps on a lifetime commitment to solving the medical and scientific puzzle of why epilepsy develops and how it can be treated or prevented. Specifically, the Gowers Fellowship is awarded annually to a physician/scientist who is embarking on a career in academic clinical medicine and who wishes to undertake a specific project in epilepsy research. Sponsors: The Epilepsy Foundation is funded primarily through individual donations from the general public and receives restricted grant support from the federal government, foundations and private industry.
