Q2 Solutions recently announced a partnership with Thermo Fisher Scientific to use the Ion Torrent Genexus System — touted as the first fully integrated, next-generation sequencing (NGS) platform — to quickly and economically deliver clinical trial lab results.

“Clinical trial oncology patients require lab testing before they can receive potential life-saving treatments, which makes lab testing turnaround time critical,” said Q2 Solutions CEO Brian O’Dwyer. “Our efforts in developing assays and tests to identify and target different aspects of diseases are critical to drug discovery for pharma clients. Adding the capabilities of the Ion Torrent Genexus System has the potential to drastically reduce our time to deliver clinical reports to trial sites, thereby enabling patients’ access to investigational drugs faster.”

Q2 Solutions (Morrisville, N.C.) is a clinical trial laboratory services organization resulting from an IQVIA and Quest Diagnostics joint venture.
