This gap in our capacity stems from a lack of clinically relevant models that would allow us to accurately compare the impact of multiple therapeutic strategies and relate them to clinical responses. Our functional genomics pipeline (FGP) integrates functional testing of high-fidelity patient derived models with comprehensive genomics and clinical data to find <i>novel and druggable targets<\/i>, <i>redefine<\/i>the standard of patient diagnoses, and drastically improve <i>patient outcomes<\/i>.
