Pairing these high-quality samples with Personalis’ innovative and robust solutions for comprehensive tumor genomics characterization has the potential to provide deeper insights into oncology therapeutics.

"Working with Indivumed on this program will allow us to deliver broad, more comprehensive genomic sequencing for cancer that can ultimately fuel drug discovery and development," said John West, CEO of Personalis. "Pairing Indivumed’s leading position as a premier quality clinical cancer biobank with our extensive genomics experience will result in one of the most comprehensive multiomics cancer databases in the world. More importantly we feel these databases will provide the insights needed to drive precision medicine in oncology. This new offering leverages Personalis’ extensive whole genome sequencing experience, including laboratory automation and data systems developed for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs ("VA") Million Veterans Program, and our expertise in processing tumor samples as part of large-scale oncology translational research projects with our biopharma partners."
