WALTHAM, Mass.– BostonGene announced today that it will participate in the 81st Annual Meeting of the Japanese Cancer Association. The event, to be held at Pacific Convention Plaza Yokohama from September 29 – October 1, will bring together leading oncologists and basic and clinical researchers in academia or industry to discuss cutting-edge findings in cancer research and recent progress in cancer, such as genomic medicine and immune therapy. BostonGene will also exhibit in Hall B, booth 87.
BostonGene will showcase how its innovative computational platform performs AI-based molecular and immune profiling to discover correlations between tumor genomics, a patient’s immune system and the effectiveness of all available approved and investigational treatments can advance how physicians treat their patients and dramatically improve clinical outcomes.
“I look forward to participating at the Annual Meeting of the Japanese Cancer Association and to presenting the clinical utility of the BostonGene Tumor PortraitTM Tests,” said Nathan Fowler, MD, Chief Medical Officer at BostonGene. “We firmly believe BostonGene’s deep molecular and immune profiling, computational power, and analytics will positively impact the standard of care for cancer patients worldwide.”
