Development of Personalised cancer Treatments

Nahuel Villegas, Chief Scientist Office, Vivantx

Vivan Therapeutics offer a comprehensive, personal genomics-based drug screening strategy for individuals with cancer. They  support patients and their clinicians by identifying ultra-personalised therapeutic solutions, while also powering biopharma in drug discovery and development programs. For each patient, a genetically matched fruit fly avatar-model is built, recreating all the genetic alterations identified in the patient tumour by WES. Then, an avatar army 500,000 strong is used for large-scale drug screening to find novel and effective drug combinations. In this way, Vivan leverages patient’s genomic information, tailoring treatments to unique genetic signatures allowing at the same time an unprecedented level of stratification for clinical trials.

11:45am - 12:30pm
