Invitae, a leading medical genetics company, is set to showcase advancements in medical genomics at the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) 42nd Annual Conference in Chicago next week. The company will present its research presentations, including oral presentations and posters, which focus on topics related to the field of medical genomics and the importance of genetics-informed patient care.
One of the key highlights of the conference will be the presentation of the Heart of Genetic Counseling Award, which recognizes excellence in genetic counseling and patient care. Invitae is a sponsor of this award and joins NSGC in honoring genetic counselors who have made a significant impact on patients’ lives and their families. The finalists for this year’s award include Leslie Walsh Cyprych from Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, Andrea Gainey from UConn Health Huntington’s Disease Program, and Victoria Suslovitch from Ambry Genetics.
Invitae’s research presentations will cover a range of topics, including improvements in classifying Variants of Uncertain Significance (VUS) and the use of digital tools to increase access to hereditary cancer screening. The company is committed to providing accurate and actionable genetic information to strengthen medical decision-making for individuals and their families.
The NSGC Annual Conference is a great opportunity for Invitae researchers to share cutting-edge scientific advancements with genetic counselors who play an integral role in genetics-informed patient care, said Dr. Robert Nussbaum, Chief Medical Officer at Invitae. It also gives us a chance to show our continued commitment to genetic counselors and their patients by awarding the Heart of Genetic Counseling Award to a genetic counselor who was nominated by a patient for extraordinary care and compassion.
Invitae’s presence at the NSGC conference demonstrates the company’s commitment to scientific innovation and excellence. The full schedule of Invitae’s presentations and posters can be found on their website.
