Dear Colleague,

Welcome to the 2010 Personalized Medicine Conference. We and the other members ofthe Conference Organizing Committee, whose names you will see on the last page ofthis program, are pleased to offer this sixth annual gathering co-hosted by PartnersHealthCare, Harvard Medical School and Harvard Business School. We offer ourprofound thanks to the speakers, the panelists, the staff and our generous sponsors fortheir essential contributions.

This is a time of active and vigorous conversation at many different levels about thestate and future of healthcare. Invariably, those conversations recognize theextraordinary advances in knowledge and technological resources that have taken placein recent years. They also recognize the enticing opportunities for medical practice toimplement the principles of personalized medicine into routine practice. Many examplescan be cited in which those opportunities have been realized and are being applieddaily. At the same time, there are those who contend that personalized medicine is aconcept whose aspiration may far exceed its ultimate reality.

In the context of those differing opinions the annual Personalized Medicine Conferenceseeks to engage a diverse audience of national and international thought leaders indiscussions that will advance the understanding of and commitment to how the promiseof personalized medicine is being and may be further fulfilled. As you will see from thisyear’s program, we have sought to give attention both to accomplishments that havebeen made and to challenges to be overcome. We invite your active participation inthese discussions.

We are pleased to have our ongoing collaboration with the Personalized MedicineCoalition whose help brings added value in organizing and presenting the meeting.

Sincerely,

Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D.Margaret A. Hamburg was confirmed on May 18, 2009 by aunanimous Senate voice vote to become the 21stCommissioner of Food and Drugs. The second woman to benominated for that position, Dr. Hamburg is exceptionallyqualified for her new job by her training and experience asan M.D., scientist and public health executive.

Dr. Hamburg graduated from Harvard Medical School,and completed her residency in internal medicine at what isnow New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell MedicalCenter, one of the top-ten hospitals in the nation. She con-ducted research on neuroscience at Rockefeller University inNew York, studied neuropharmacology at the NationalInstitute of Mental Health on the National Institutes ofHealth campus in Bethesda, Md., and later focused on AIDSresearch as Assistant Director of the National Institute ofAllergy and Infectious Diseases.In 1990, Dr. Hamburg joined the New York City

Department of Health and Mental Hygiene as DeputyHealth Commissioner, and within a year was promoted toCommissioner, a position she held until 1997. During hertenure she was widely praised for her initiatives, decisiveleadership, and significant public health measures she car-ried out despite severe budget constraints and while hold-ing academic positions at Columbia University School ofPublic Health and Cornell University Medical College.Dr. Hamburg's accomplishments as New York's top public

health official included improved services for women andchildren, needle-exchange programs to reduce the spreadof HIV (the AIDS virus), and the initiation the first publichealth bio-terrorism defense program in the nation. Hermost celebrated achievement, however, was curbing thespread of tuberculosis. In the 1990s, TB resurged as a majorpublic health threat, largely because many patients did notcomplete the full course of the treatment and the diseasebecame resistant to standard drugs. Dr. Hamburg confront-ed the problem by sending health care workers to patients’homes and taking other steps to make sure they completedthe drug regimen. Thanks to this program, in a five-yearspan, the TB rate in New York City fell by 46% overall, and86% for the most drug-resistant strains. Dr. Hamburg'sinnovative approach has become a model for health depart-ments world-wide.In 1994, Dr. Hamburg was elected to the membership in

the Institute of Medicine, one of the youngest persons to beso honored. Three years later, at the request of PresidentClinton, she accepted the position of Assistant Secretary forPolicy and Evaluation in the U.S. Department of Health andHuman Services (HHS).In 2001, Dr. Hamburg became Vice President for

He was awarded a Cancer Research UK (CR-UK)clinician scientist fellowship in 2004 which allowed him toconduct his post-doctoral research training at the CR-UKLondon Research Institute with Prof Julian Downward,establishing multi-drug sensitivity mechanisms throughRNA interference screening approaches, associated withpaclitaxel and other common chemotherapy agents used inoncological practice (Swanton et al., 2007a; Swanton et al.,2007b). These screening datasets resulted in the observa-tion that molecules that mediate chromosomal stabilityappeared to be significantly associated with those mediat-ing taxane sensitivity and led to the first phase II clinicaltrial in colorectal cancer to attempt to define prospectivelywhether tumour chromosomal instability status altersresponse to a taxane-like drug.In 2008, Charles was awarded an MRC and a CR-UK sen-

ior clinical research fellowship and appointed MRC/CR-UKGroup leader of the Translational Cancer TherapeuticsLaboratory at the CRUK London Research Institute andFellow of the Society of Biologists (FSB). His laboratoryfocus is aimed at identifying colorectal and breast cancercell survival regulators associated with specific patterns ofgenomic instability using functional genomic techniques inorder to develop therapeutic approaches to delay the acqui-sition of multi-drug resistance (Swanton and Caldas, 2009;Swanton and Downward, 2008; Swanton et al., 2008;Swanton et al., 2006). During this period Charles’ research has begun to estab-

lish the clinical relevance of RNA interference (RNAi)approaches to the elucidation of drug sensitive patientcohorts; Tumours harbouring a Chromosomal Instability(CIN) phenotype are relatively more resistant to paclitaxeland sensitive to carboplatin in the OV01 ovarian cancerclinical trial cohort, potentially explaining the combinatorialefficacy of these two cytotoxics in vivo (Swanton et al.,2009). Charles has also recently confirmed the ability ofRNAi screening methods to generate clinically applicablepredictive biomarkers of drug response in breast cancer(Juul et al., 2010). Current translational research is develop-ing these observations, focussed on the rapid identificationof predictive biomarkers of drug response in cancer usingRNAi screening approaches combined with the parallelgenomics analysis of tumour tissue derived from “windowof opportunity” neo-adjuvant monotherapy clinical trials. Charles conducts his clinical research activities at the

Royal Marsden Hospital having been appointed a medicaloncology consultant physician in 2008. He combines his

laboratory work with clinical duties by aiming to directnovel therapeutics to patients with specific cancer molecu-lar subtypes within clinical trials in the Breast Cancer andDrug Development Units.

Scott Weiss, M.D., M.S.Dr. Weiss is currently Director of thePartners HealthCare Center forPersonalized Genetic Medicine (PCPGM)and Associate Director, ChanningLaboratory, and Professor of Medicine atHarvard Medical School. In this lattercapacity, he leads a 28 investigator, 120

person research group examining the environmental andgenetic origins of asthma and COPD. He has authored or coauthored over 500 publications

and four books in the area of asthma and COPD risk fac-tors, natural history, and genetics. His initial work con-cerned the role of airways responsiveness and environmen-tal tobacco smoke exposure in asthma and COPD, the effectof allergen exposure and airways responsiveness on mark-ers of inflammation and the combined effect of these fac-tors on the development of COPD. In 1996, he developed astrong interest in the genetics of asthma and his work overthe past 14 years has focused on this, and novel environ-mental exposures such as vitamin D and the bowel flora.His laboratory is the only laboratory in the world that hasactive NIH research in the areas of asthma genetics, asthmapharmacogenetics, and COPD genetics. He is the principalinvestigator or co-investigator on a total of six separateNHLBI-funded grant proposals in the area of the genetics ofasthma and Asthma Pharmacogenetics, including a MERITaward.

The Partners HealthCare Center forPersonalized Genetic Medicine(PCPGM) was launched in 2001 as theHarvard Medical School-PartnersHealthCare Center for Genetics andGenomics. Its purposes from its found-ing have been to promote genetics andgenomics in research and clinical medi-cine and to help realize the promise ofpersonalized medicine by acceleratingthe integration of genetic knowledgeinto clinical care throughout thePartners HealthCare System (PHS) andin healthcare nationally and globally.PCPGM is accomplishing its mission bysupporting and facilitating:• pursuing important discoveries thatwill enable advancing the knowledgeof how genetics affects human healthand disease• offering genetic-based diagnostictesting and developing new teststhrough a CLIA- and state-approvedLaboratory for Molecular Medicine• developing an IT infrastructure tointegrate genetic and genomic datainto clinical decision support systems• educating practicing clinicians, inves-tigators, health care professionals• developing a program inPersonalized Predictive MedicinePersonalized medicine is the ability

to determine an individual’s uniquemolecular characteristics and to usethose genetic distinctions to diagnosemore finely an individual’s disease,

select treatments that increase thechances of a successful outcome andreduce possible adverse reactions.Personalized medicine also is the abili-ty to predict an individual’s susceptibil-ity to diseases and thus to try to shapesteps that may help avoid or reducethe extent to which an individual willexperience a disease.For personalized medicine to be a

fully functioning reality at the clinicallevel, certain elements are essential: anelectronic medical record, personalizedgenomic data available for clinical use,physician access to electronic decisionsupport tools, a personalized healthplan, personalized treatments, and per-sonal clinical information available forresearch use. Partners HealthCare hasmade a firm commitment to the princi-ples of personalized medicine and tothe importance of genetics andgenomics in delivering the best care ofpatients. PHS also has committed toensuring that the features above are orwill be available.The essential feature of the revolu-

tion in genetics and genomics hasbeen an explosion in the amount ofdata available for use in translationalresearch. This massive data profusionhas enhanced our ability to predictclinical phenotypes and to predict clini-cal outcomes on the basis of genomescale data. However, to be able to dothis sort of prediction investigators

need several tools. First, they need arobust bioinformatics infrastructurewith secure pipelines and robust algo-rithms for data cleaning and manipula-tion. Second, they need very strongbioinformatics platforms for dataanalysis and data management. Third,they need access to large numbers ofvery well phenotyped patients. Fourth,they need access to the genomic plat-forms to create genomic scale data onthese patients for prediction of clinicaloutcomes. Finally, they need novel sta-tistical and bioinformatics methods toanalyze these data for predictive medi-cine. PCPGM makes all of theseresources available to Partners investi-gators through a highly developedinfrastructure consisting of bioinfor-matics and genetic statistics; biosam-ple repository; core sequencing, geno-typing and GeneChip® and microarraylaboratories; and information technolo-gy services.
