Applying Precision Technology to Tackle Climate-Driven Infectious Diseases

The devastating impact that infectious diseases can have on the global population was well demonstrated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Fortunately, pandemics remain unusual occurrences, but research suggests that factors such as climate change may be increasing the risk of such events occurring in the future. Integrative projects that simultaneously tackle infectious disease risks, climate change, and other environmental issues could help solve a complicated global problem.

Minimal Disease, Maximum Benefit

As both flow cytometry technology and genomic sequencing have taken technological leaps forward, the sensitivity and specificity of testing has increased to include MRD for solid tumors. Leveraging advances in next-generation sequencing, MRD test developers can look for thousands of disease markers and even detect one cancerous cell among a million healthy cells. This level of sensitivity provides evidence of disease recurrence months before traditional follow-up screening methods.
