Today at the HUG, we analyse billions of pieces of genetic data from tumours taken from around 150 patients a month, and up to 600 mutations per patient, using the Oncobench® platform

Geneva, a pioneer in precision cancer medicine

The challenge

Every tumour is unique. Analysing their DNA can help identify the mutation(s) responsible and tailor patient care, even when standard treatments have failed. But how should such complex and sensitive data be managed and interpreted?

The solution

At the HUG, theOncobench® bioinformatics platform is integrated directly into the hospital and has been in clinical use since 2016. It analyses patients’ tumour molecular profiles whilst evolving in line with advances in research.

The impact

More accurate diagnoses and treatments tailored to each patient, with secure health data within the hospital.
