The presentation, titled "Comprehensive immunogenomics to enable composite biomarkers for immunotherapy response using a sample sparing approach," will describe the Personalis universal cancer immunogenomics platform, ImmunoID NeXT. Travis Yates, PhD, will present for Personalis.

Dr. Yates will discuss the benefits of this unique, innovative design for immuno-oncology translational research, including mastering challenging samples, utilizing optimized algorithms, and obtaining accurate genomic data for identifying novel predictors of response. He will review a case study from a cohort of metastatic melanoma patients treated with an immune checkpoint blockade and will highlight the analytical capabilities provided by this immunogenomic profiling solution for understanding mechanisms of tumor evasion and creating composite biomarkers. Additionally, he will introduce NeXT Liquid Biopsy, an exome-wide liquid biopsy approach combined with ImmunoID NeXT, to further explore critical areas of tumor biology.
