Genomic Profiling Showcase:
Agendia
From day one, Agendia was founded on the belief we could improve the quality of life for cancer patients everywhere. Today, our genomic tests are achieving this goal with a broad and growing global customer base, including many major hospitals and clinical institutions.
Genomic Profiling In Early Stage Breast Cancer
Genomic profiling in early-stage breast cancer, provided by Agendia, is expanding beyond the initial chemotherapy/no chemotherapy decision, to now inform other important clinical decisions such as the use of neoadjuvant therapy, systemic drug selection, and surgical decision-making.
The PMWC 2020 Genomic Profiling Showcase will provide a 15 min speaking opportunity for selected companies working with the latest technologies in nucleic acid sequencing such as NGS, providing instrumentation for genomic sequencing, and offering direct to consumer services. These companies will share their innovative products and services to an audience of leading investors, potential clients and partners. The Genomic Profiling Showcase will exhibit the latest innovations in methods and instruments used for DNA/ RNA sequencing to ascertain the genomic and transcriptional profile of a person in order to understand why some people get certain diseases while others do not, or why people react in different ways to the same drug. This information is also being used to develop new ways to diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases, such as cancer.
