Speaker panel to discuss genomics in cancer care

NEW YORK — Genomics has the potential to revolutionize the treatment of cancer and the drug industry, and the New York Pharma Forum is sponsoring a symposium on the subject in December.



The symposium, titled "The Genomics Revolution: Cancer and Beyond," will feature a panel discussion with executives from drug makes like Bristol-Myers Squibb and Daiichi Sankyo, as well as experts from the Yale Cancer Center and PricewaterhouseCoopers.



Speakers will discuss how genomics has made progress in the treatment of cancer and the challenges for application of these approaches to other therapeutic areas.

The symposium will take place in the Terrace Room at New York's Plaza Hotel, near Central Park, on Dec. 2, from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
