| RESEARCH: | State-of-the-art collaborative precision medicine program is to be initiated at WCHN. The program would link gynecologic/oncology patient clinical care and genomic information to improved treatment and surveillance. This is the future of health care where patient care would evolve from a one-size-fits-all to a more personalized approach towards disease diagnosis and treatment. We hope to expand this approach to the diagnosis and treatment of disease in other therapeutic areas such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The WCHN biomedical research institute had added a new research group, Laboratory for Translational Research, to its current departments. This research group is being directed by Dr. John Martignetti, MD, PhD, associate professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Dr. Martignetti has established a bench to bedside approach to a personalized medicine program for ovarian cancer at Mount Sinai. The personalized approach to ovarian cancer patient care would improve outcomes as it would link patient clinical care and genomic information to improve detection, surveillance, prognosis and treatment. We have put together all the necessary components of a Biorepository that will be part of a Core Program to support research programs aimed at biomarker discovery, validation and development of novel therapeutics. The Biorepository will house frozen patients tissue, patient derived cell lines and blood/plasma for research purposes. All programs are administered consistent with Danbury Hospital's financial assistance policy.
