Combining Genomics & Big Data to Develop Personalized Medicine

Truly personalized medicine has been a goal for a very long time. The rapidly-falling costs of DNA sequencing and the (re-)emergence of machine learning and other analytics tools are creating a unique opportunity to reshape how medicine and medical research are practiced and care delivered.

This talk will outline how next-generation DNA sequencing and tools developed at companies like LinkedIn and Twitter are enabling a NYC-local biotech company to provide personalized medicine to improve the health of people across the country.
