Mark Caulfield and Douglas F. Easton Receiving "Lombardy is Research" Award - Milan

Mark Caulfield and Douglas F. Easton during the Awarding Ceremony, on November 8, 2025, in Milan, Italy. The Lombardy Region’s 2025 International “Lombardy is Research” Award, dedicated this year to the theme “Innovative methods of early diagnosis or preventive medicine”, has been jointly awarded to British professors Mark Caulfield and Douglas F. Easton, pioneers in the field of genomic medicine. The award was granted to the two scientists for their “groundbreaking research that has led to the identification of genes associated with increased susceptibility to various diseases, particularly cancer and cardiovascular disease. This work has had a profound impact on early diagnosis, prevention, and precision medicine.” Photo by Maurizio Maule/Fotogramma/ABACAPRESS.COM

STORY: Peru detects presence of Omicron subvariant XBB.1.5 DATELINE: Jan. 17, 2023 LENGTH: 00:01:54 LOCATION: Lima CATEGORY: HEALTH SHOTLIST: 1. various of medics working 2. various of street views in Peru 3. various of people receiving vaccines STORYLINE: The National Institute of Health in Peru detected three cases of Omicron subvariant XBB.1.5 this week in Lima through genomic surveillance, as was confirmed by the Ministry of Health on Sunday. Through a statement, the institution explained that the finding of the INS Genomic Surveillance Team "implies that there may be more related cases and there could be an increase of cases" of COVID-19 in the coming weeks. The new subvariant is a descendant of the Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which is the cause of COVID-19, and it has been identified in 38 countries, the institute declared. The identification of the Omicron sublineage XBB.1.5 in the Peruvian capital comes at a time when the country is going through its fifth wave of infections, althou

"The patient is in good condition, undergoing symptomatic treatment, and his close contacts are under clinical and epidemiological control, with no symptoms to date," the ministry said in a statement. The test result from "the sample taken from the first high-probability case is positive, which confirms infection with poxviruses belonging to the Eurasian-African group of the Orthopox genus," the ministry said. Subsequently, genomic sequencing yielded a very high percentage of homology with the West African clade, like those found in new cas

Software developed to draw up family history of genetic disorders

Professor Akimune Fukushima (L) of Iwate Medical University explains the mechanics of "f-tree," an application program designed to help draw up a medical family history of a person's possible genetic disorders, at a press conference in Morioka, Iwate Prefecture, northeastern Japan, on June 17, 2015. The software has been developed by the university's Iwate Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization, an entity tasked with studying genomic cohorts of regional residents, among other duties.
