[{"type":"text","content":"The Hospital will use SOPHiA GENETICS technology to streamline workflows and expedite research \nBOSTON and ROLLE, Switzerland, Dec. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- SOPHiA GENETICS (Nasdaq: SOPH), a cloud-native software company and a leader in data-driven medicine, today announced that Hôpital Saint-Louis, located in Paris, has implemented the SOPHiA DDM™ Platform to help advance its research of Myeloid Disorders and continue expanding the use of precision medicine for those in the area. This latest implementation is an expansion of its existing work with SOPHiA GENETICS.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \nFor more than 50 years, patients suffering from Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), a subset of myeloid malignancies in which too many blood stem cells mature into red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets, have been referred to the team at Hôpital Saint-Louis, where the Cellular Biology Department is focused on in-depth clinical research to help provide comprehensive care for MPN patients. The implementation of the SOPHiA DDM™ Platform will help the Cellular Biology Department expedite its research and increase its ability to provide data-driven care to patients with MPN.\n\"While the providers and researchers in my department have decades of experience with MPNs and are well-versed in providing the highest quality care to our patients, we have been pleased with the support of the innovative technology that SOPHiA GENETICS offers,\" said Bruno Cassinat, PharmD, Ph.D., Molecular Diagnostics, Hôpital Saint-Louis. \"The SOPHiA DDM™ Platform has been an essential tool to support us in streamlining our bioinformatics workflows, expediting our research, and making data-driven decisions for our patient population.\"\nMPNs originate from hematopoietic disruptions in the myeloid lineage. Advances in the study of MPNs depend on timely, cost-effective, and reliable sequencing strategies. With the SOPHiA DDM™ Platform, the Cellular Biology Department will provide its patients with access to tailored next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based workflows that enable accurate and sensitive characterization of the complex mutational landscape associated with myeloid neoplasms. These workflows will provide researchers with high-quality, reproducible data on up-to-date gene panels to expedite and advance research.\n\"As we continue expanding the use of da...
