Syapse To Present Breakthrough Clinical Omics Software Platform At ASHG
PALO ALTO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Syapse, the leader in software for bringing omics into routine medical use, has been selected to present at the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) 2013 Meeting. Syapse will present a poster titled “A Semantic Computing Platform to Enable Translational and Clinical Omics.”
“To bring omics data from benchtop to point of care, labs and clinics must be able to handle three types of data with very different properties and requirements: evolving biomedical knowledge, longitudinal medical data, and high-volume omics data,” said Jonathan Hirsch, Founder & President of Syapse. “Syapse has created a breakthrough semantic computing platform for making these data types usable in routine clinical encounters and laboratory operations. We are excited to present this key enabling technology to the human genetics community.”
At ASHG, Syapse will describe how biologists and clinicians use its data platform to implement an omics learning healthcare system. Clinical R&D can perform data mining queries, such as selecting patients who share disease and treatment characteristics, to identify associations between omics profiles and clinical outcomes. Organizations can update clinical evidence, such as variant interpretation or pharmacogenetic associations, in a knowledgebase that triggers alerts in affected patient records. At point of care, clinical decision support interfaces can present internal or external treatment guidelines based on patients’ omics profiles.
The American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG)’s 63rd Annual Meeting will take place Tuesday, October 22 to Saturday, October 26 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center (BCEC) in Boston, Massachusetts. Syapse will be presenting in the “Bioinformatics and Genomic Technology” poster session on Friday, October 25 from 10:30 – 11:30am in Exhibit Hall Level 1, program number 1607F.
