  1. PRECISION MEDICINE
    <\/strong>It is a medical approach that uses genomic, clinical, and environmental information to personalize the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease in each patient.
    \nIt is based on the analysis of individualized information to make more accurate and effective medical decisions. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. GENOMICS
      <\/strong>It is the study of genes and their function.
      \nGenomics analyzes the structure, function, evolution, and mapping of entire genomes, including genes and non-coding DNA sequences. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. DATALAKE
        <\/strong>A datalake is a centralized repository that stores large amounts of raw data in its original format.
        \nUnlike traditional databases, datalakes allow for the storage of heterogeneous and unstructured data, making it easier to analyze and further process. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. COHORT
          <\/u><\/strong>In the field of medical research, a cohort refers to a group of individuals who share a common characteristic or experience and are followed over a period of time to study how that characteristic or experience affects their health or medical outcomes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. SECONDARY DATA USAGE
            <\/strong>It refers to the use of data collected for an original purpose for the purpose of conducting additional research or analysis not directly related to the original purpose.
            \nFor example, using data from electronic medical records to conduct epidemiological studies. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              \n
            1. NODES
              <\/u><\/strong>Each of the territorial structures in which participants will be recruited for the cohort and will be given the tests and questionnaires established within the program.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                \n
              1. SEQUENCING
                <\/u><\/strong>It refers to the process of determining the exact order of components (usually nucleotides) in a DNA or RNA molecule.
                \nSequencing is essential for the study of genetics and genomics, as it allows us to know the genetic information contained in genes and other segments of DNA or RNA. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                  \n
                1. PREVENTIVE MEDICINE
                  <\/strong>It is a medical approach that focuses on disease prevention and health promotion through interventions and anticipatory measures.
                  \nPreventive medicine focuses on identifying and addressing risk factors and underlying causes of disease before they manifest themselves clinically. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                    \n
                  1. PRIMARY PREVENTION
                    <\/strong>It refers to the measures and actions taken to prevent the occurrence of diseases or injuries before they manifest themselves.
                    \nThis can include healthy lifestyle habits, vaccination, early detection of risk factors, and health education. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                      \n
                    1. PREDICTIVE MEDICINE
                      <\/strong>It is an approach to medicine that uses genetic information and other risk factors to predict the likelihood that a person will develop certain diseases in the future.
                      \nThis allows preventive measures to be taken or treatment to be customized based on individual susceptibility. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                        \n
                      1. RRI <\/strong>(RESPONSIBLE RESEARCH AND INNOVATION)
                        <\/strong>It is an approach that promotes citizen participation, ethics, transparency and sustainability in scientific research and technological innovation.
                        \nIt seeks to ensure that research and innovation are carried out responsibly, taking into account social values and the needs of society. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                          \n
                        1. SEQUENCING INFRASTRUCTURES
                          <\/strong>These are the specialized facilities and equipment used to carry out DNA or RNA sequencing.
                          \nThese infrastructures include state-of-the-art sequencing equipment, data storage systems, and bioinformatics analysis software needed to conduct high-quality genomic and genetic research. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
