“We look forward to using the patient-specific knowledge gained from N-of-One clinical interpretation to quickly and effectively identify additional therapeutic strategies for a broad range of cancer patients based on the molecular data from our NGS testing program,” said Jason Gillman, Director of Cancer Genomics, Intermountain Healthcare.
