Bioinformatics Analysis and Reporting for Comprehensive Genomic Panels in Precision Oncology

Explore the computational infrastructure and bioinformatics methodologies essential for processing comprehensive genomic oncology panels in this webinar presented by Dr. Jeremy Segal, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Pathology and Director of Molecular and Cytogenetic Pathology at the University of Chicago. Learn about various computing infrastructure options and systems designed to handle large-scale next-generation sequencing (NGS) data processing, while gaining foundational knowledge of NGS informatics and methods for extracting clinically relevant biomarkers from oncology NGS panel data. Discover the critical reporting considerations for NGS oncology panels and understand the information system support requirements necessary for effective implementation. The presentation covers computational approaches for extracting diverse biomarkers from raw NGS panel data and provides comprehensive guidance on reporting strategies for precision oncology applications. Gain insights from Dr. Segal's extensive experience in clinical NGS assay development, translational research, and personalized medicine, drawing from his roles at the University of Chicago and as president and co-founder of the Genomics Organization for Academic Laboratories (GOAL).
