Genomics is back on the list for Congress, with creating an additional new agency and a focus on collecting the necessary information to allow research and development. Also included would be guidelines and rules related to genetic and pharmacogenomic tests to bring both Pharma and medical device manufacturers closer together and unite on future development. BD
First, the act would create a Genomics and Personalized Medicine Interagency Working Group that would include the National Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other groups outside of the Department of Health and Human Services. It also would start a National Biobanking Initiative that would create a database for collecting and integrating genomics data with environmental and clinical health information. It also would use funding to improve training for diagnosis of genetic diseases and disorders, and for treatment and counseling.
