We propose the formation of an International Psycho-Social and Cultural Bioinformatics Project (IPCBP) to explore the research foundations of Integrative Medical Insights (IMI) on all levels from the molecular-genomic to the psychological, cultural, social, and spiritual. Just as The Human Genome Project identified the molecular foundations of modern medicine with the new technology of sequencing DNA during the past decade, the IPCBP would extend and integrate this neuroscience knowledge base with the technology of gene expression via DNA/proteomic microarray research and brain imaging in development, stress, healing, rehabilitation, and the psychotherapeutic facilitation of existentional wellness. We anticipate that the IPCBP will require a unique international collaboration of, academic institutions, researchers, and clinical practioners for the creation of a new neuroscience of mind-body communication, brain plasticity, memory, learning, and creative processing during optimal experiential states of art, beauty, and truth. We illustrate this emerging integration of bioinformatics with medicine with a videotape of the classical 4-stage creative process in a neuroscience approach to psychotherapy.

The Human Genome Project

With the completion of the human genome project and the sequencing of many genomes of experimental models, there is a pressing need to determine the physiological relevance of newly identified genes. Gene-targeting approaches have become an important tool in our arsenal to dissect the significance of genes expressed in many tissues. A wealth of experimental models has been made to assess the role of gene expression in renal function and development. The development of new and informative models is presently limited by the anatomic complexity of the kidney and the lack of cell-specific promoters to target the numerous diverse cell types in that organ. Because of this, new approaches may have to be developed. In this review, we will discuss several untraditional methods to target gene expression to the kidney. These approaches should provide some additional tricks and tools to help in developing additional informative models for studying renal physiology.

Abstract1 In recent years, the field of genetics has undergone rapid change and development. The areas of gene therapy and genetic engineering and the development of new technology have presented possibilities inconceivable only decades ago.2 The Human Genome Project opened new spheres of research. Its applications also proved useful to clinical care, by allowing physicians to utilize knowledge of the human genome in order to diagnose future disease as well as to individualize drug therapy (pharmacogenomics).3 Because of this, genetics has become an integral part of primary care medicine. Whereas at one time, medical genetics was devoted to the study of relatively rare genetic disorders, the Human Genome Project has established a genetic contribution to a variety of common diseases. It is therefore incumbent upon all physicians to have a working knowledge of the field.4 Genetics is an area of medicine with enormous medical, social, ethical and legal implications. The WMA has developed this statement in order to address some of these concerns and provide guidance to physicians. These guidelines should be updated in accordance with developments in the field of genetics.

Technological and medical advances have been dramatic over the past several years; particularly impressive have been advances in biotechnology and genetic research. The implications of genetic research as they relate to persons with disabilities are discussed. Additionally, historical and current problems with the use of genetic information are addressed. Finally, the role rehabilitation counselors can play as advocates for people with disabilities in the implementation of research results from the Human Genome Project is presented.

The Human Genome Project

The Human Genome Project mapped the complete DNA sequence that exists in each human cell, but questions remain about how genes are expressed. Epigenetics is defined as mechanisms of gene expression that can be maintained across cell divisions, and thus the life of the organism, without changing the DNA sequence. Recent research has identified important epigenetic mechanisms that play essential roles in normal and abnormal development. Of special significance for psychology are the findings that environmental and psychosocial factors can change the epigenome. Research also suggests that some experiences and epigenetic changes of an individual can be passed down to more than one generation of descendants. Linkages between epigenetics and psychopathology are emerging that point to new possibilities for conceptualizing, preventing, and treating disorders.
