Several of us consider that one of the biggest joys in life is starting a family. Loving someone so intensely that you know you want a future with them. You know that you want your kids to share those beautiful qualities your loved one has; Maybe it's their kindness, their passion, or their selfless nature when it comes to helping their loved one. It's a feeling and future many of us crave. But it's not a future many women are able to achieve because of PCOS: Polycystic ovary syndrome. PCOS is a condition in where a woman's ovary enlarge and small cysts form on the outer edges. And the most prominent symptom of PCOS is infertility. It's a condition that affects 5 million woman in the U.S. and despite the ongoing clinical trials, there isn't much else being done to research treatments for this condition. It's always important to educate yourself on medical issues such as these. And the best way to do that is by looking at the several articles IndyGeneUS AI has! Educating yourself is a step in the right direction to getting the recognition women need for a better support system. Yusuf Henriques 🇯🇲 Bradford Wilson, PhD Angel N.

"IndyGeneUS AI... is sequencing multiple underrepresented groups in the United States. CEO, Yusuf Henriques stated that “our goal is to sequence enough human genomes of African, Hispanic, and Asian descent to have a better reference library that includes some of the gene variants that are missing. Those could be included in genetic testing in the future.” Read the full article below...
Diverse Genomes Make Medicine More Equitable Genomic datasets are not representative of global diversity. Changing that will enable researchers to better serve underrepresented groups and advance our understanding of diseases. We speak to Segun Fatumo, PhD, from MRC Uganda (London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, U. of London), Cheng Zhang from Character Biosciences, Claudia Gonzaga-Jauregui, PhD, from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, and Yusuf Henriques, from IndyGeneUS AI in this article.

No-one should have to battle cancer alone. This month, we're celebrating life by recognizing those who have gone toe-to-toe with cancer and walked away victorious. Today, we're turning the lens to Ayanna Smith, who not only fought cancer as a caregiver - but, later in life as the patient. She bottled the disorganization that comes along with numerous appointments and isolation into JRNY + TGTHR, the app that fills the gaps in care. Today, you can take control of your health through a short breast cancer assessment. It'll take less than 90-seconds - however, it'll provide our team with necessary data to craft a longer questionnaire to help identify your breast cancer risk factors (this is for men and women!)

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer touched my life (directly) twice. First, when my mom was diagnosed. She faced it with a strength I admired deeply, taking her treatment one step at a time without ever losing her spirit. She went to work, listened to her body, rested when needed, and ultimately beat cancer with grace. Then, at the end of 2022, I received my own diagnosis. Fear hit me first, but I quickly remembered my mother’s quiet courage. Her example gave me the strength to face my journey head-on, but I also leaned into my nature as a problem solver. I thought to myself, "How can I turn this experience into something that not only helps me but helps others?" That’s where Journey Together was born. Immediately after my diagnosis, I realized how disjointed support can be. Doctor's notes here, recommendations from friends and family scattered, offers of help coming in from everywhere—it was overwhelming to manage, especially while trying to heal. So I conceived JRNY + TGTHR - an app designed to centralize that support. It brings organization and coordination to the love and care you’re offered during life’s toughest moments. If you or someone you know is navigating a group support for any circumstance, I invite you to download the Journey Together app and experience the ease of managing your support network in one place. Let’s journey through this together—because no one should have to go through life’s hardest moments alone.

Cancer doesn't discriminate against ... age, race, or sex. The story Lisa Daughtrey (see below) shared about being diagnosed with stage 0/1 breast cancer at 21-years old, touched the hearts of our executive leadership team. For many of us at that age our greatest concern might have been graduating college - yet, her greatest fear became her reality. Early detection is key to winning the war against cancer - but, so is understanding your risk factors. Take this quick (1-2 minute) preliminary assessment to provide our team at IndyGeneUS AI with introductory data to craft a longer questionnaire to help identify your breast cancer risk factors (this survey is for men and women!) https://lnkd.in/er84ikJ9

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month At 21, I remember waking up to a discomfort in my right chest and discharge. My immediate instinct prompted me to seek medical advice. I remember the doctor inquiry about my family medical history. The weight of the word "cancer" immediately loomed large in my thoughts, yet I chose to keep this discovery a closely guarded secret from my parents and friends until I was 100% sure. The specialist confirmed my worst fears– I was diagnosed with Phase 0/1 breast cancer, and the doctor immediately advised me that I should consider a double mastectomy and reconstruction for my age. The thought of dropping this emotional bombshell on my family was too much to bear. But, my mother was my comfort and confidante of my secret and I'm glad that I didn't bear the weight of my silence any longer. Cancer shakes you up. The mere thought of it could bring jitters to your body, and it did. Not just me, but my parents. I told my father a few days before my surgery date. The news was understandably shocking for him. I remember he said, 'She's too young for this to happen to her'. Subsequently, I underwent surgery, and the journey had still continued for me with very low iron deficiency that cause me to have blackouts every day along with treatment. My journey has been very personal, challenging and at times, excruciatingly difficult, yet I find solace in the knowledge that I have recovered. What has helped me the MOST is only and only STAYING VERY POSITIVE. Fear can shake us up for sure, but it can not help us in any way possible. I myself had no idea how strong my mind was until this. I must stress to every woman, and men out there the importance of regular mammograms, regular health checkups, and making them an annual habit. Unfortunately, about 2 years later, my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and after my father passed away in 93' ... my oldest brother was diagnosed, however, recovered. I would never know until this situation how the power of maintaining a positive mindset can not be underestimated. The unwavering support of family and friends, coupled with the incredible POWER OF PRAYER, has been invaluable throughout my journey . #breastcancer #mentalhealth #breastcancersurvivor #breastcancerawareness #mentalhealthadvocate #breastcancerawarenessmonth
