BabyFox project explores accelerating whole genome sequencing
Genetic diseases, especially rare genetic disorders, are an important factor in mortality in neonatal and paediatric intensive care units. This phenomenon of disease in children is worldwide. Professor Ondřej Slabý, Head of the Centre for Precision Medicine at the University Hospital Brno (FN Brno), Head of the Department of Biology at the Faculty of Medicine of Masaryk University (MED MUNI) and Head of the CEITEC MU research group, together with the research team of the BabyFox project, which was launched in September this year, are trying to examine new approaches to improve the prognosis of these patients. This is another important project within the Centre for Precision Medicine.
