Bringing NGS Analytics from Research to the Clinic
Many NGS applications related to diagnostics and rare disease, with actionable insights, are finding their way into the clinic. This poses many hurdles around regulatory requirements, privacy issues, and scalability that must be addressed. We will share our insights in ways to ease the journey from research to the clinic.
Session Abstract – PMWC 2017 Silicon Valley
Session Synopsis: The clinical NGS workflow is complex in nature, spanning sequence data generation, data management, data analysis and interpretation, as well as reporting of the actionable findings. Building the right solution requires a good understanding of the processes to be supported and the needs to be addressed for individual constituents. In this session we will hear about some of the solutions that are available today as well as the perspective of a genetic counselor, an important stakeholder who adds value toward the end of this workflow.
