Translating Scientific Discoveries Into Patient Care | Andrea Sboner | TEDxBergenCountyAcademies

Dr. Sboner's main interest is the computational analysis of the human cancer transcriptome and proteome for the development of predictive models and applications of tools for the analysis of next-generation sequencing data. Today, he will present an overview of the activities at EIPM showing how, with the use of next-generation sequencing, statistics, data analysis, machine learning, mixed reality, as well as the appropriate informatics infrastructure, we can strive to fulfill the goal of Precision Medicine: delivering the right drug to the right patient at the right time. Andrea Sboner, Ph.D., is the Director of Informatics and Computational Biology at the Englander Institute for Precision Medicine (EIPM) and an Assistant Professor of Computational Genomics in Computational Biomedicine. Dr. Sboner has an extensive expertise in next-generation sequencing (NGS) data analysis and has developed tools to analyze RNA sequencing to identify gene fusions (FusionSeq, Genome Res 2010) that led to the discovery of novel fusion transcripts in prostate cancer (Genome Biology, 2010), epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (Science Translational Medicine 2011, Genes, Chromosome Cancer, 2012, 2013), and rhabdomyosarcoma (Genes, Chromosome Cancer 2013). Dr. Sboner is an integral part of the EIPM's core team which demonstrated the feasibility of developing organoids to study prostate cancer and is part of international genomics and cancer genomics initiatives (ENCODE, The Cancer Genome Atlas - TCGA, The International Cancer Genome Consortium - ICGC). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
