Precision Cancer Medicine focus of SciLifeLab seminar at Keystone Symposia

On May 9, SciLifeLab arranged a lunch seminar on Cutting-Edge Technologies in Precision Cancer Medicine during the three-day Keystone Symposia taking place in Stockholm. The conference was also co-organized by SciLifeLab.

The seminar featured several researchers and units from SciLifeLab, highlighting large-scale sequencing efforts carried out in different cancer types, which have paved the way for the incorporation of next-generation sequencing-based approaches into routine clinical diagnostics and every-day patient care. To complement the presentations, the seminar also included a lunch mingle to promote new connections and collaborations, as well as to present SciLifeLab to the participating group of around 100 international researchers.
