Roche to showcase the future of diagnostic solutions at EuroMedLab 10 - 14 April 2022 in Munich at ICM International Congress Center

• New diagnostics solutions will be presented that help clinicians improve patient care and support healthcare systems.
• Participants can join virtually or onsite to learn about timely healthcare topics related to value-based healthcare, digital health and diagnostic technologies. 
• Study results from an evaluation of the newly launched AVENIO Tumour Tissue Comprehensive Genomic Profiling Kit for oncology research will be presented.
• For the first time internationally, GenMark, a subsidiary within the Roche Diagnostics division, will showcase the ePlex^® System portfolio.

An evaluation of the recently launched AVENIO Tumour Tissue Comprehensive Genomic Profiling (CGP) Kit for oncology research will be presented.  The kit helps expand access to genomic profiling globally, supporting researchers in navigating the complex landscape of cancer research. The findings assess genomic results generated across multiple CGP workflows for variants that are known to cause and drive cancer.

Roche is committed to developing innovative solutions that equip healthcare professionals with the tools that allow for earlier diagnosis and more personalised treatment, optimising patient care and leading to better outcomes,

said Ann Costello, Global Head, Roche Diagnostics Solutions.

We are proud to work in partnership with healthcare professionals across many disease areas and disciplines to enable better healthcare decisions.

Roche will also host its very own highly interactive booth, where attendees can visit and experience how Roche is helping to improve healthcare. Highlights from the booth include an integrated diagnostics lab and data analytics tools that guide the decision-making process toward optimising lab operations, customer delivery, and overall lab performance in a targeted and efficient manner. There will also be a special interactive area at the booth highlighting Roche’s COVID-19 response.

Lab medicine has always played a key role in healthcare, as proven during the Covid-19 pandemic,

emphasised Moritz Hartmann, Global Head of Roche Information Solutions.

We are working with industry leaders worldwide on digital health solutions to facilitate data-driven decision-making in any setting.  This includes labs, clinics and homes with the ultimate goal to improve care for each patient and reduce inefficiencies in healthcare delivery.
