Crossing the Equity Chasm: Addressing a Second Valley of Death in Biomedical Innovation

From the article: "Recent transformative advances in health and medicine have successfully traversed the valley of death, including progress in genomics, precision medicine, innovative medicines and vaccines, gene therapy, and artificial intelligence. However, it is critical to call attention to a second, important valley of death: the failure to deliver scientific advances to populations most in need. The second valley of death is fueled by socioeconomic, environmental, political, and systemic factors; health system failures; and persistent challenges in closing the last mile in health care, resulting in significant disparities in morbidity and mortality worldwide. "

Precision public health in the era of genomics and big data

From the abstract: "Precision public health (PPH) considers the interplay between genetics, lifestyle and the environment to improve disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment on a population level—thereby delivering the right interventions to the right populations at the right time. In this Review, we explore the concept of PPH as the next generation of public health. We discuss the historical context of using individual-level data in public health interventions and examine recent advancements in how data from human and pathogen genomics and social, behavioral and environmental research, as well as artificial intelligence, have transformed public health. "

Connecting lab, clinic, and community

From the article: "To better understand relationships between the genes we inherit and the environmental and societal factors that surround us and to deliver more evidence-driven health care, research must be integrated into clinical care and community settings, reaching patients from all walks of life. Unlike most research settings, primary care is patient- and community-centered and emphasizes health maintenance and preventive care alongside treatment and rehabilitation in a location as convenient as possible for the patient. "

Gene–environment interactions in human health

From the abstract: "Gene–environment interactions (G×E), the interplay of genetic variation with environmental factors, have a pivotal impact on human complex traits and diseases. Statistically, G×E can be assessed by determining the deviation from expectation of predictive models based solely on the phenotypic effects of genetics or environmental exposures. Despite the unprecedented, widespread and diverse use of G×E analytical frameworks, heterogeneity in their application and reporting hinders their applicability in public health. "
