Abstract :

The rapidly evolving field of genomics and the giant strides being made in genomic technology are making significant impact to applied markets. The large volume of data on cancer genomes is increasing our knowledge base to try and interpret the causes and possibly reveal novel targets that could lead to the cure for this dreaded disease. Clinical research efforts have led to discoveries that are currently being leveraged to construct clinical diagnostics. Already the construction of clinically relevant biomarker panels (companion diagnostics) is promising to revolutionize the diagnostic and prognostic value for different therapeutic regimens. This talk will briefly address the current state of clinical genomics, more specifically cancer genomics and showcase Illumina?s panel based clinical solutions and how they may be leveraged to try and provide clues to the directions clinical therapeutics will progress in.
