The free falling cost of whole genome sequencing raises the possibility –
some say the inevitability – of applying this revolutionary technology
in the clinic. More and more medical geneticists are proposing the idea
of a "sequence once, read often" approach to preventive medicine.
However, huge challenges spanning the scientific, regulatory, ethical
and financial arena's stand in the way of clinical genome sequencing
becoming part of mainstream medicine. Unlike the research world,
clinicians need efficient and repeatable processes, but are confronted
by a plethora of platforms, software tools, and databases, and few if
any best practices in interpreting, storing and sharing a patient's
genome data. Cambridge Healthtech Institute and Bio-IT World are proud
to announce
TCGC: The Clinical Genome Conference,
inviting stakeholders from all arenas impacting clinical genomics to
share new findings and solutions in advancing the application of
clinical genome sequencing.
