Challenges in constructing genetic instruments for pharmacologic therapies [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The genes that encode the targets of most therapies do not have rare variants with large-effect or common variants with moderate effects on the biomarker reflecting the pharmacologic action of the corresponding therapy. Therefore, providing genetic target validation for most therapies is challenging.

A Proof of Principle: Multi-Modality Radiotherapy Optimization [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Radiotherapy is used to treat cancer patients by damaging DNA of tumor cells using ionizing radiation. Photons are the most widely used radiation type for therapy, having been put into use soon after the first discovery of X-rays in 1895. However, there are emerging interests and developments of other radiation modalities such as protons and carbon ...
