These emerging technologies, combined with state of the art genomic and biomarker data, can accelerate the adoption of precision medicine and improve patient outcomes while lowering costs.

Panna Sharma will also provide an update on Cancer Genetics’ initiative around Big Data and Artificial Intelligence and how the Company is partnering with other leaders to use artificial intelligence to help revolutionize how patients are matched with clinical trials.  With less than 5% of patients with cancer participating in clinical trials, according to the National Cancer Institute, advances in Artificial Intelligence and other developments in precision medicine could not only fundamentally transform cancer care, but more importantly cancer development.
