Intermountain Precision Genomics and 10x Genomics announced the addition of Chromium Genome Solution to the Translational Science Center (TSC). The center currently houses several of the latest high-throughput next-generation sequencing instruments for large-scale whole genome sequencing.
According to Helaman Escobar, director of TSC, “The instruments in the Translational Science Center coupled with the technology solutions provided by 10x Genomics support Intermountain Healthcare’s initiative to advance precision health to bring personalized medicine from the lab bench to clinical practice and improve patient’s lives.”
The TSC will create a pipeline of genomic information and eventually impact personalized clinical practice. The TSC will also collaborate with investigators and clinicians inside and outside the network of Intermountain hospitals and clinics to enable their research initiatives. One of the primary goals of the Translational Science Center is to sequence groups of samples from Intermountain’s decades-old BioRepository.
