Clinical Genomics Center established by Lab21, ITOR
April 2012
SHARING OPTIONS:
CAMBRIDGE, U.K.—Lab21 recently launched a new Clinical
Genomics Center at the Greenville Hospital System (GHS) Memorial Medical Campus
in Greenville, S.C. Located in the GHS Institute for Translational Oncology Research (ITOR), the new center continues an ongoing collaboration to introduce
complex biomarker analysis into routine cancer patient management. A strategic
relationship with Life Technologies, whose Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine
will serve as the key launch platform technology, led to the establishment of
the facility.
“Bringing this leading-edge technology to the cancer clinic
represents a significant breakthrough and the culmination of a seven-year
journey,” Dr. Joe Stephenson, medical director for ITOR, noted in a statement.
“This genomics center is another major step towards fulfilling our vision to
provide personalized cancer care—better enabling us to offer the right drug, at
the right time, to the right patient.” Back |
