Expert insights from all cancer genome stakeholders in order to optimize drug development, further personalized medicine and improve patient outcomes.

Advances in sequencing technology are unlocking the cancer genome and driving the explosion of a new genomic era of cancer drugs and diagnostics. With inexpensive sequencing and analysis encouraging innovation in the field, the next hurdle to overcome lies within translating this into the clinic. 

The Cancer Genome Summit is the only meeting which brings together thought leaders from pharma, academia and the clinic to present the very latest clinical data. Sharing these insights holds the key to accessing the cancer genome. This year’s meeting will show you how to identify new drug targets, combat resistance mechanisms, streamline clinical trials and improve clinical management. 

Imagine yourself in a room full with the leading pharma, biotech and academic organizations all speaking about how they are harnessing the cancer genome to revolutionize their drug development programs and patient treatment choice.

Attend the meeting to…

  • Understand how you can extract meaningful, manageable information from the cancer genome by exploring the TCGA analysis pipeline with insight from the Broad Institute 
  • Get a masterclass from the leading clinicians at Massachusetts General Hospital and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center on how you can predict and monitor patient therapies in the clinic
  • Learn how you can practically apply NGS data to identify new drug targets and improve clinical trials with discussion from Millennium, Sanofi, AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly and UCB Pharma 
  • Discover how you can identify novel biomarkers using microarray data from next generation mouse models from AVEO Pharma
  • Explore strategies to identify clinically relevant biomarkers of drug response with Merck 
  • Hear how you can interpret whole genomes to understand drug efficacy and adverse response with Knome 
  • Gain insight from AstraZeneca and Gilead Sciences on how they are using the cancer genome to stratify patients in clinical trials to improve patient selection

Who should attend? 

The Cancer Genome Summit has been specifically designed to focus on bridging the gap between sequencing the cancer genome in the lab, and our ability to use this information to develop better drugs and diagnostic technology. This meeting is designed for:  

  • Drug Developers working on identification of novel targets, biomarkers and strategies for personalized clinical trial design
  • Researchers looking at using the increasing information coming from the cancer genome to advance our understanding of the disease
  • Bioinformaticists and Computational Biologists searching for answers to next generation sequencing data management challenges
  • Technology Providers keen to showcase their latest innovative platforms and equipment for sequencing, analysis and application of the genome
  • Diagnostics Developers aiming to turn sequencing innovations into cancer diagnostics
