Introducing Human Data Era, a New Serial Podcast from Amgen
Join host Ray Deshaies, Amgen’s senior vice president of Global Research, who speaks with dr Kári Stefánsson, M.D., founder, of deCODE genetics about the Role of Human Diversity in Progressing Precision Medicine.
Multiomics study of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
Scientists at deCODE genetics in Iceland have discovered rare, protective loss-of-function variants that point to potential drug targets for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
CRTAC1 is a promising biomarker of osteoarthritis
CRTAC1 in plasma is a specific biomarker of osteoarthritis, a measure of OA risk, and a predictor of progression to joint replacements. The lack of a biomarker of osteoarthritis (OA) has hindered the development of effective therapies for this common disease.
First report from the world’s most ambitious sequencing project
Scientists at deCODE genetics a subsidiary of Amgen, together with collaborators from Denmark report on the whole genome sequences of 150 thousand participants in the UK biobank in a paper published in the journal Nature today.
UNIQUE EXPERTISE
Headquartered in Reykjavik, Iceland, deCODE is a global leader in analyzing and understanding the human genome. Using our unique expertise and population resources, deCODE has discovered key genetic risk factors for dozens of common diseases ranging from cardiovascular disease to cancer.
UNIQUE CAPABILITIES
We operate the most productive human gene discovery engine in the world, employing our discoveries to identify genetic variations associated with human disease.
OUR PUBLICATIONS
We regularly publish our discoveries in major, peer-reviewed journals, enabling others to further validate and expand upon our findings.
