About us
The Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine is leading the way in advancing precision healthcare for infants and children through genomic and systems medicine research. Discoveries at the Institute are enabling rapid diagnosis and targeted treatment of critically ill newborns and pediatric patients at Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego. The vision is to expand delivery of this integrated translational research process to enable the practice of precision pediatric medicine at children’s hospitals across California, the nation and the world. RCIGM is a subsidiary of Rady Children’s Hospital and Health Center. Learn more at www.RadyGenomics.org.

💪 Hudson’s Heroism 🦸♂️ For the first 13 months of his life, Hudson Wingate was a happy, healthy baby boy, hitting all his milestones and bringing joy to his proud parents, Susie and Eric. Then, he started having trouble breathing and gasping for air. After the genomics team sequenced Hudson’s DNA, they quickly found a diagnosis and began treatment immediately. He fought through several procedures and showed even more improvement once he got home. “We knew we were on the right track and that his life was being saved. We were hopeful for his future again,” said Hudson’s mom, Susie Wingate. Hudson, now 5, is doing well and enjoying life as a kid, learning to swim and moving on to kindergarten. Read Hudson’s full inspiring story and more on Page 18 of the Rady Children’s Healthy Kids Magazine: https://lnkd.in/gKbwKHrS #WholeGenomeSequencing #genomics #RapidPrecisionMedicine

Whole Genome Sequencing can look beyond the limitations of traditional newborn screening. Mark Johnson from The Washington Post highlights North Carolina and New York studies that use genome sequencing to detect conditions not found through traditional newborn screening. He also writes about how Project Baby Bear, our California clinical study that examined use of rapid genome sequencing for critically ill babies covered by Medicaid, demonstrated that doctors were able to diagnose and treat conditions quickly, reducing hospital stays by 513 days and avoiding 11 major surgeries, saving over $2.5 million in healthcare costs.

Last week, we had the honor of hosting a screening of the documentary "Undiagnosed" for Rady Children's staff. This documentary by E. Katia Moritz, Ph.D., ABPP features two of our patient families during their diagnostic and therapeutic odysseys. Special thanks to E. Gay Grossman, Steve Grossman, Caroline Cheung-Yiu and her family, and Dr. Jennifer Friedman for participating in the Q&A session following the screening. Thank you to Jerica Lenberg for moderating the panel and helping us remember our goal of shortening the diagnostic odyssey for children and their families. Learn more about the documentary below 👇

Lukas Chavez recently spoke with Nicole Spahich on The Scientist Speaks podcast. They discussed his team’s multiomic exploration of extrachromosomal DNA and how it influences medulloblastoma progression and treatment. Chaves conducts research at RCIGM and is also a professor at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute, and UC San Diego.
