Stacy Gray Lab in Action

HOPE-Genomics

HOPE-Genomics is an interactive, web-based tool for patients who are living with cancer or are at risk for developing cancer. The goals of HOPE-Genomics are to improve genomic communication and support clinicians’ and patients’ ability to interpret, use, and share genomic data.

Introducing HOPE-Genomics

Bridging the Gap

Precision Medicine promises to transform cancer care by ensuring that every patient receives treatment that is both timely and tailored to their cancer.

Despite these benefits, genetic information can be complex and difficult to understand for both patients and providers. We believe educational tools may bridge this gap by presenting genetic information in a format that is helpful for patients from all backgrounds.
