"We're helping customers internalize next generation #sequencing for clinical use... in virtually every market segment."

PierianDx is on a mission to democratize next generation sequencing and #genomics in medicine worldwide.

In Greek mythology, the Pierian Spring of Macedonia was sacred to the Muses. It was believed that drinking from it would bring you great knowledge and #inspiration.

As the metaphorical source of knowledge of art and #science, it was popularized in Alexander Pope's poem "An Essay on Criticism" (1711):

"A little learning is a dang'rous thing;

Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring."

Despite tremendous advances in #sequencing technologies, informatics and computational power, there still remains a fair degree of subjectivity in genomics and personalized medicine.

It takes a team of laboratory scientists, informaticians, variant scientists and physicians to develop and perform assays and formulate treatment decisions for patients.

Rakesh Nagarajan, MD, PhD, of PierianDx joins us to discuss their mission to democratize next generation sequencing.

Will AI applications be limited to research and discovery and development of drugs and diagnostics?

What about post-launch and real-world experience?

"The observational study space is fairly disorganized and could greatly benefit from digitization and machine learning."

What are patient avatars?

Imagine being able to understand drug efficacy and toxicities without having to involve actual patients.

All of this talk about #AI can be confusing and intimidating.

What is it?

How does it work?

What are applications in #healthcare going to look like?

Is it going to take away my job?

Finally, AI for the Rest of Us. Sunandini Chopra, PhD, joins us this week.

"It doesn't give you a diagnosis, but it gives you additional information... and the hope is that all pathologists will have the same information."

"In the same way that when you listen to Pandora, it knows what song you're going to like..."
