The company analyzes molecular patient data to identify key disease-driving mechanisms and accelerates the development process to clarify therapeutic and diagnostic decisions for patient stratification. Come learn about the challenges of developing, validating, and integrating diagnostic assays for collecting complex molecular information (including genomic, epigenomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, electronic medial records) in order to provide novel insights for patient stratification.
