LifeOmic, Susan G. Komen Tissue Bank Partner to Advance Breast Cancer Research

– Susan G. Komen Tissue Bank partners with LifeOmic to aggregate and analyze data on LifeOmic’s AI-powered cloud platform, the Precision Health Cloud (PHC), to gain insight into breast cancer. 

– The Komen Tissue Bank is the only repository in the world for normal breast tissue and matched serum, plasma, and DNA. The tissue bank advances breast cancer research by offering high quality, richly annotated tissue samples to scientists worldwide.

LifeOmic, the creator of the LIFE mobile apps and the Precision Health Cloud (PHC) platform in use at major medical and cancer centers, today announced a partnership with the Susan G. Komen Tissue Bank, a unique resource established by researchers at Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center and Indiana University School of Medicine, to improve breast cancer research. The Komen Tissue Bank at the IU Simon Cancer Center will utilize the PHC for genomic, clinical and imaging data aggregation and analysis, as well as its health care compliant survey capabilities.

Komen Tissue Bank Background

The Komen Tissue Bank is the only repository in the world for normal breast tissue and matched serum, plasma and DNA. The tissue bank advances breast cancer research by offering high quality, richly annotated tissue samples to scientists worldwide. Scientists who access the Komen Tissue Bank’s Virtual Tissue Bank can query the medical history of donors, request tissue and download existing data. The current system does not support genomic data.  

“We are passionate about sharing our research resources with scientists worldwide,” said Jill Henry, chief operating officer of the Komen Tissue Bank at the IU Simon Cancer Center. “Using LifeOmic’s PHC will expand the Virtual Tissue Bank’s capabilities to help fuel ongoing treatment and prevention discovery.” 

Partnership Details

The LifeOmic Precision Health Cloud (PHC) was created to break down the silos that exist between current systems. LifeOmic and the Komen Tissue Bank will work together to deploy the Virtual Tissue Bank onto the PHC’s secure, reliable and scalable platform. The new platform enables researchers around the world to query an extended data model including whole-genome sequencing data. The use of analytics tools in the PHC allows researchers to overlay data reported from participants’ clinical history with all other data available in the PHC, including genomic, clinical and imaging data.

“The Precision Health Cloud was created to break down silos that exist between current systems, to help advance precision health,” said Dr. Don Brown, CEO and founder of LifeOmic. “We are thrilled to partner with the Komen Tissue Bank because of our shared goal to break down silos and help its mission to end breast cancer by enabling advanced research using PHC.”
