The Nevada State Health Response team reported the first case of COVID-19 reinfection in the country during a press conference Friday afternoon.

Scientists at the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine (UNR Med), led by its Nevada State Public Health Laboratory (NSPHL) are studying a likely case of COVID-19 reinfection.

Your genes may hold clues to your optimal diet plan.

That’s what 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ researcher Martin Schiller advocates with his new business, Food Genes and Me, a website that uses genetic data to predict how eating less or more of a certain food could help ward off disease.

Researchers at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ) launched a public website called FoodGenesAndMe.com that uses computer software to scan users’ DNA for potential health problems and creates personalized diets to lower the risks.

If you’ve taken a genealogy test, you can now find out what medical problems your genes make you vulnerable to, and how you can change your diet to keep yourself healthy. Food Genes and Me, a startup developed by 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s Nevada Institute of Personalized Medicine, offers a free service that lets you do just that.

It turns out you really are what you eat, according to 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ scientists who have publicly launched a site that uses computer software to scan users’ DNA for potential health problems and create personalized diets that help lower the risks.

Martin Schiller’s research lab at 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ is creating far more than just experiments. The research completed inside the Schiller Laboratory of Applied Bioinformatics has led to Schiller’s Heligenics, a startup that could help genetics testing companies shine a light on undiagnosed diseases.

With a new $11.4 million grant from the National Institutes of Health, 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ wants to help the country move to a more data-driven approach to medicine.
