Thrilled that the @PALOH_Study has been published today in @JAMAPediatrics.
jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
Over the next week we'll highlight the main findings, the potential benefits for patients, and what this means for rapid genetic testing in healthcare. More to come next week.

Congratulations to the PALOH study team who won Research Project of the Year: STEM at the @timeshighered Awards 2024🏆👏.
The team developed the world’s first bedside genetic test that can prevent critically ill newborn babies from going deaf if treated with a common antibiotic.

With £1.4m funding from @NIHRresearch and the @UK_Life_Science, PALOH-UK will demonstrate at a larger scale, how the test can be used in a timely way to ensure babies get a safe, effective antibiotic without affecting normal clinical practice.

As a society, we tend to focus a lot on risk and try to control it through regulation - but how well does that work in #genomic medicine?
