My focus is on doing more with less. If we need to take blood from a child, then take as little as possible. If we need to take a biopsy, can we get both diagnosis and a treatment plan all at once? Combining what we know from many years of research with what we want (accurate diagnosis, treatment options) helps personalize drug treatment regimens and minimize blood collections, all while improving the overall patient experience and providing better outcomes. By working with cutting edge technologies and utilizing the extensive expertise of physicians, pathologists and scientists, we can drive substantial improvement in patient health and wellbeing.
