Personalized Medicine

Personalised Medicine: Tailoring Treatments with Ribosome Profiling

Personalised medicine represents a transformative approach in healthcare, focusing on delivering therapies tailored to individual genetic, molecular, and environmental profiles. While traditional methods often focus on DNA or RNA sequencing, they fall short of capturing the dynamics of protein synthesis, a critical determinant of cellular function. Ribosome profiling provides a high-resolution view of translation, offering insights into the active proteome and bridging the gap between genotype and phenotype.

EIRNA Bio’s ribosome profiling service supports personalised medicine by uncovering patient-specific translational signatures. By enabling the identification of unique biomarkers and therapeutic targets, this approach advances precision medicine and optimises treatment strategies.

Applications of Ribosome Profiling for Personalised Medicine

1. Stratifying Patients for Targeted Therapies

Patients often exhibit heterogeneous responses to treatments due to differences in their translational profiles. Ribosome profiling identifies these differences by analysing protein synthesis in real time.

Predicting Drug Sensitivity: Stratify patients based on translational biomarkers associated with drug efficacy.
Minimising Toxicity: Identify off-target effects of therapies at the translational level, ensuring safer treatment outcomes.

EIRNA Bio’s service enables clinicians and researchers to classify patients into distinct groups, guiding the development of targeted therapies.

2. Identifying Patient-Specific Biomarkers

The discovery of biomarkers is central to personalised medicine, offering tools for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment monitoring. Ribosome profiling uncovers translational biomarkers that reflect real-time cellular activity.

Dynamic Biomarker Discovery: Capture translational changes associated with disease progression or therapeutic response.
Enhanced Specificity: Focus on actively translated mRNAs, reducing noise from non-functional transcripts.

By providing high-resolution data, EIRNA Bio’s profiling service ensures the discovery of biomarkers that are both relevant and actionable.

3. Understanding Disease Mechanisms at the Translational Level

Diseases such as cancer, neurodegeneration, and metabolic disorders often involve dysregulation of translation. Ribosome profiling helps elucidate these mechanisms, offering insights into how translational control contributes to pathology.

Cancer Biology: Investigate aberrant translation in tumour cells, including the use of non-canonical start sites or upstream ORFs.
Neurodegeneration: Explore how translational dysregulation impacts synaptic function or protein aggregation.

EIRNA Bio supports these investigations by providing reliable data on translational dynamics, uncovering new avenues for therapeutic intervention.

4. Optimising Therapeutic Development

Personalised medicine requires therapies that are not only effective but also tailored to individual patients. Ribosome profiling aids this process by:

Validating Targets: Confirm the translational relevance of candidate therapeutic targets.
Monitoring Treatment Response: Analyse how therapies affect translation in real time, enabling rapid adjustments to treatment strategies.

EIRNA Bio’s service facilitates the development of personalised treatments by providing insights into patient-specific translational responses.
