Case Study: Hartwig Medical Foundation accelerates cancer diagnostics with Genomenon CKB

Hartwig Medical Foundation speeds WGS review to same day with Genomenon

Hartwig Medical Foundation, a non-profit research organization, faced significant challenges in managing the vast amount of data from whole genome sequencing for cancer patients. Their manual process for variant interpretation was slow and struggled to keep up with evolving clinical evidence, creating bottlenecks in delivering actionable treatment options and ensuring consistency across their partner hospitals. To address this, they turned to Genomenon and implemented its Cancer Knowledgebase (CKB) service.

By integrating Genomenon's CKB into its workflow, Hartwig automated variant annotation and classification. This solution enabled them to complete manual report reviews on the same day sequencing results were available, a major improvement from the previous 24-hour requirement. The implementation by Genomenon standardized decision-making, improved clinical trial matching, and gave clinicians rapid access to high-confidence evidence, ultimately leading to faster and more precise treatment planning for patients.
