TCGC: Clinical Genome ConferenceTCGC: Clinical Genome ConferenceTCGC: Clinical Genome Conference
 


To sequence or not to sequence is no longer the question.
The mantra "sequence once, read often" is rapidly becoming a part of mainstream medicine. Still, huge challenges of applying this revolutionary technology in the clinic remain including scientific, regulatory, ethical, and financial issues. Instead of basic research, clinicians need efficient, repeatable processes and are still confronted with a plethora of platforms, software tools, databases, and few if any best practices for interpreting, storing and sharing a patient's genomic data.

Bio-IT World and Cambridge Healthtech Institute are again proud to host The 2nd Annual TCGC: The Clinical Genome Conference, inviting stakeholders from all arenas impacting clinical genomics to share new findings and solutions for advancing the application of clinical genome sequencing.

TCGC brings together many constituencies for frank and vital discussion of the applications, questions and solutions surrounding clinical genome analysis, including scientists, physicians, diagnosticians, genetic counselors, bioinformaticists, ethicists, regulators, insurers, lawyers, and administrators.

This 2-part event covers the science of sequencing and the business of translating genomics into the clinic.

Navigating Regulatory Hurdles and Informed Decision Making for Clinical Genome Sequencing DVD - June 11, 2012 

Part 1:
The Diagnostic Odyssey for Genome Sequencing

The move to push genome sequencing into routine clinical practice requires arguably as much skill in navigating bureaucracy as mapping and interpreting base pairs. This short course provides practical information on crafting clinical sequencing and analysis pipeline strategies while navigating the route of CAP and CLIA certification by those who have sailed through these uncharted waters.

CLG SC DVD CoverPart 2:
The Saga of Genomic Interpretation for Physicians, Payers, Patients

To succeed, clinical genome sequencing must have the ability to enhance medical decision making. Primary care physicians are often on the front line of responding to "what does this mean/what do I do?" questions. Their informed response is a saga of detailed reports including 1) physicians who order the genomic test 2) laboratory testing personnel who run the test and generate the data 3) bioinformaticists who prepare reports by aligning, annotating, and analyzing the genomic data 4) molecular pathologists who interpret the data and confirm clinical relevance 5) physicians who communicate results back to the patients 6) genetic counselors who advise patients and 7) patients who respond to treatment. Step by step informed decisions will lead to the success of the clinical genomics saga.

BIT WS5 DVD_CoverSoftware for Clinical Genomics DVD - April 24, 2012

Genomic technologies hold the potential to improve diagnosis and treatment of inherited disease and cancer, as well as the move towards personalized medicine. However, genomic data is complex and is not well integrated with software systems to support existing diagnostics, such as anatomic pathology and clinical pathology reporting systems needed for integrated diagnostics.
