BIOGRAPHY
The widespread adoption of precision medicine in oncology requires: a compendium of therapies targeting the genetic vulnerabilities of cancer; the diagnostic tools capable of generating a precise molecular diagnosis; and importantly, the information systems to connect a patients molecular diagnosis to optimal treatment hypotheses. Here, we will present Life Technologies work to accelerate (1) defining the landscape of actionable driver genetic events in cancer, (2) developing a next-generation sequencing screen on the Ion Torrent semiconductor-sequencing platform, (3) assembling treatment-related information relevant for clinical research, and (4) devising a turnkey bioinformatics solution to democratize clinical sequencing.
