The Incubator 🟠 CHNC 2023 COVERAGE - Chatting about genomics with Drs Kristen Suhrie and Sabrina Malone Jenkins
Can you imagine resetting the clinical pathway for a neonate, by simply diagnosing a genetic condition early on? That's the provocative question we explore with esteemed neonatologists, Dr Sabrina Malone Jenkins and Dr Kristen Suhrie, as we unpack the transformative power of whole genome sequencing. This cutting-edge technology is paving the way for early diagnosis of genetic conditions and crafting tailored care plans that can drastically improve patient outcomes.
Get ready to challenge the conventional approach to neonatal care as we explore the integration of genomic medicine. We delve deep into the potential of rapid whole genome sequencing and how it can be equitably rolled out in neonatal intensive care units. You'll also learn how crucial precision medicine is, where the clinical presentation of a patient is used to gain new insights and revisit old results. Sabrina and Kristen shed light on how this technology can be fairly implemented and become an integral part of our everyday practice. Let's embark on this enlightening journey together, to better the lives of our smallest patients.
