TEMPUS, a technology company focused on supporting physicians delivering customized cancer care, and the University of Pennsylvania Abramson Cancer Center partnered to better determine which patients will have a positive response to immunotherapy treatment based on next generation genomic and transcriptomic sequencing.
As part of a research collaboration, Tempus will provide sequencing and analysis of de-identified pancreatic and melanoma cancer patient data to Penn. Utilizing next-generation sequencing, machine learning and bioinformatics, Tempus will help physicians analyze these data sets for relevant patterns that can help inform which immunotherapies are most likely to be effective in a given cohort of patients.
“Tempus is committed to bringing relevant information and technology to healthcare providers battling cancer,” said Eric Lefkofsky, co-founder and CEO of Tempus.
“Putting cutting-edge technology into the hands of our physicians enhances the resources they need to best serve their patients,” Chi Van Dang, professor & director, Abramson Cancer Center.
Tempus enables physicians to deliver personalized cancer care through its interactive analytical and machine learning platform.The company provides genomic sequencing services and analyzes molecular and therapeutic data to empower physicians to make real-time, data-driven decisions.
