Why San Diego

Precision Medicine West, formerly Biomarkers, CDx & Precision Medicine US, brings the biomarker and companion diagnostics community together with computational pathology, multi-omics, and AI and data leaders. For founders, that means investors and pharma partners who understand how biomarkers, diagnostics and data come together in drug development. San Diego is one of the leading life science clusters in the US, and the Forum puts early-stage companies in front of the people who can help them scale.
