    TGen scientists test new technology to better prepare for emerging disease outbreaks

    Researchers at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), part of City of Hope, in collaboration with scientists at Jumpcode Genomics, have developed a next generation sequencing (NGS) workflow that could help transform the future of large-scale pandemic responses and focused clinical infectious disease testing. The NGS workflow can enable earlier detection and responses to pathogen outbreaks ,…

    TGen study allows late-stage cancer patients to use their health data to guide care

    A unique study pairing researchers from the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), part of City of Hope, with one cancer patient is now underway to help answer that question. Rick Stanton, a former engineer and advanced prostate cancer patient, is at the center of TGen’s Patient Engagements, Operational Practices, and Laboratory Environment Standardization (PEOPLES) protocol.
