Intermountain selects PierianDx solution for medicine programme

US-based non-profit healthcare system Intermountain Healthcare has selected PierianDx Clinical Genomics Workstation to advance its precision medicine programme ‘Intermountain Precision Genomics’.

Intermountain Healthcare will utilise PierianDx for next-generation sequencing (NGS) variant analysis and reporting services to help explore new targeted therapies and provide potential clinical trial opportunities for patients with cancer.

PierianDx CEO Michael Sanderson said: “We are thrilled that Intermountain Healthcare has joined our rapidly expanding partner network.

“Intermountain Healthcare is widely known as a leader in precision medicine and we look forward to continued collaboration opportunities.”

Under the partnership, PierianDx provides a SaaS platform and Clinical Genomics Workspace (CGW), an integrated workspace for genomic analytics, classification, interpretation and reporting.
