Two Plenary Keynote Panels to be Delivered at 20th Annual Molecular Medicine Tri-Conference

Jan. 30, 2013 - PRLog -- Part of Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s 20th annual Molecular Medicine Tri-Conference, attendees will gain first-hand insight from two plenary keynote presentations: "Personalized Oncology: Fulfilling the Promise for Today’s Patients;" and "Emerging Technologies & Industry Perspectives."  The presentations will be held respectively on February 13 and 14, 2013 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.  Free keynote and exhibit hall passes are available until February 1, 2013.

In honor of the 20th anniversary of the Molecular Medicine Tri-Conference, CHI and Cancer Commons will present the first plenary panel on Personalized Oncology. Innovations such as NGS and The Cancer Genome Atlas have revealed that cancer comprises hundreds of distinct molecular diseases. Early clinical successes with targeted therapies suggest that cancer might one day be managed as a chronic disease using an evolving cocktail of drugs. Representing the event’s key topics of Diagnostics, Therapeutics, Clinical, Informatics, and Cancer, a panel of experts will lead a highly interactive exploration of what it will take to realize this vision in the near future.  

The panel will be moderated by Marty Tenenbaum, Ph.D., Founder and Chairman, Cancer Commons; Prominent AI Researcher; Cancer Survivor and include panelists:
- Tony Blau, M.D., University of Washington; Attending Physician, Seattle Cancer Care Alliance; Co-Director, Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine, University of Washington and the Program for Stem and Progenitor Cell Biology at the UW/FHCRC Cancer Consortium; Founder and Scientific Officer, Partners in Personal Oncology
