See Why Liquid Biopsy is the Fastest Growing Area in the Medical Diagnostics Field in the Coming Decade at PMWC22
One of the most exciting developments in the life sciences and diagnostics is the advancement of liquid biopsy, which is why we are dedicating a Track to it, June 29th, at PMWC 2022 Silicon Valley (June 28-30). Gleaning meaningful insights from tiny amounts of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), the premise underpinning liquid biopsy tests, has […]
Join Dean Julie Johnson for the PGx Track, June 30 @PMWC -Details Provided
Pharmacogenomic (PGx) relies on scientific breakthroughs in our understanding of how a person’s unique molecular and genetic profile influences susceptibility to and progression of certain diseases and predicts which medical treatments will likely be safe and effective, and which ones will not. Consequently, PGx information in those instances has the power to reduce the likelihood […]
PMWC 2022: Real World Evidence and the Potential to Create Safer and more Efficacious Medical Treatments
I hope you received my last email regarding PMWC 2022 Silicon Valley’s June 28-30 dates (Program). Real-world data (RWD) and real-world evidence (RWE) have been receiving increasing amounts of attention from both medical researchers and regulators, playing an increasing role in health care decision-making. Real-world data, as defined by the FDA, relates to patient health status […]

Thank you for Making PMWC 2016 Silicon Valley a Success Story For All Attendees
It was truly a pleasure to host this year’s soldout PMWC. As Dr. Keith Yamamoto (UCSF) noted in his presentation, “precision medicine: audacious aspiration, worthy outcomes.” It was nice to see that we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to this aspiration as indications of worthy outcomes are […]
Celebrating Leaders of Change at PMWC 2016
They all have played and continue to play a tremendously critical role in shaping the human healthcare system, changing it from a general population approach to a personalized and patient-centered care model. For this reason, we honored these leaders for their outstanding contributions to medicine by awarding them the Pioneer or Luminary Awards at Personalized […]
Illumina Did It Again
Like a recurring theme, Illumina – when at JPMorgan Healthcare Conference -is contributing to some of the most clearly heard and most impactful announcements in the space. An obligatory new sequencer was released and along with that, the news of the launch of a new company named Grail focusing on liquid biopsy-based cancer diagnostics. Illumina […]
The Year of the Goat is Also The Year of Precision Medicine
The year 2015 is surely a success story for medicine and healthcare, starting early with the launch of the ambitious Precision Medicine Initiative (PMI) by the President in January during his State of the Union address. Since then, this year has brought us a flurry of activities related to this prominent initiative. PMI’s goal is […]
