WEBINAR RECORDING AVAILABLE - WATCH ON DEMAND

How can biopharma deliver on the promise of precision medicine?

Biopharma and biotech companies require access to high quality, deeply curated patient data to scale precision medicine initiatives. While vast amounts of clinical and genomic data are available in various forms, they are not effectively leveraged to understand disease and wellness. To span this divide, advanced data engineering and data science approaches are needed. That said, the launch of a precision medicine does not automatically guarantee the delivery to the right patient at the right time. To make it standard of care, therefore, the answer lies in the “how”.

Join this webinar presented by Sema4, a patient-centered health intelligence company, where expert panelists will discuss the barriers to bring precision medicine to the patient and possible ways to overcome them.

Attendees can expect to learn about:

The role of deep, longitudinal clinical and multi-omic datasets in advancing precision medicine initiatives
The role of advanced bioinformatics and systems biology in uncovering differentiated insights across the entire drug development lifecycle
The role of educating clinicians and patients to optimize delivery of precision medicine at scale and to measure its impact

Roles that will benefit the most from this webinar are those with responsibilities for:

Precision Medicine/Translation Medicine
RWD/RWE/Advanced Analytics
Diagnostics/Biomarkers
Bioinformatics/System Biology
Data Scientists
Clinical Development
Clinical Operations
Global Medical Affairs
