“Detection of Rare Fusions in Solid Tumors” Presented by Dr. Pratheesh Sathyan, PhD, Head of AMR Oncology, Medical Affairs
At Illumina, our mission is to improve human health by unlocking the power of the genome. Our sequencing by synthesis chemistry is used to generate high-accuracy DNA and RNA sequence data in studies around the globe. Our microarrays also provide accurate, high-throughput genotyping for a range of applications. Through innovation and collaboration, we have developed comprehensive genomic profiling tools that help investigators identify biomarkers, describe tumor biology, and inform therapy selections. The opportunity to transform tumor profiling with innovative assays, new companion diagnostics, and liquid biopsy tools inspires us to push the boundaries of what is possible and drive innovation.
