“Genomics and precision medicine are transforming the care we provide our patients and are on the brink of revolutionizing all aspects of the healthcare delivery system,” said Brian Donley, M.D., Chief of Staff at Cleveland Clinic. “The Medical Innovation Summit brings together some of the world’s most renowned business and thought leaders with the goal of furthering this progress, moving new ideas into market and ultimately improving the daily lives of patients.”

The agenda includes thought-provoking panels, as well as lively 1-on-1 discussions with top healthcare, industry and biotech leaders.

“Genomics and precision medicine may hold the key to managing and eliminating some of the most debilitating diseases,” said Peter O’Neill, executive director of Cleveland Clinic Innovations. “We see a lot of activity in this market area, and we’re looking forward to this year’s Medical Innovation Summit and advancing the conversation about innovation in this exciting space.”
