Genomic dissection and mutation-specific target discovery for breast cancer PIK3CA hotspot mutations.

Background: Recent advancements in high-throughput genomics and targeted therapies have provided tremendous potential to identify and therapeutically target distinct mutations associated with cancers. However, to date the majority of targeted therapies are used to treat all functional mutations within the same gene, regardless of affected codon or phenotype.

Results: In this study, we developed a functional genomic analysis workflow with a unique isogenic cell line panel bearing two distinct hotspot PIK3CA mutations, E545K and H1047R, to accurately identify targetable differences between mutations within the same gene.

Vanderbilt Electronic Health Record Voice Assistant Supports Clinicians.

Background:  Electronic health records (EHRs) present navigation challenges due to time-consuming searches across segmented data. Voice assistants can improve clinical workflows by allowing natural language queries and contextually aware navigation of the EHR.

Objectives:  To develop a voice-mediated EHR assistant and interview providers to inform its future refinement.
