Enhancing Somatic Variant Interpretation with CKB FLEX: Northwestern Medicine’s Integration Strategy
Thursday, September 25th, 2025 | 11am EDT
Join Genomenon and Northwestern Medicine for an exclusive webinar exploring the transformative impact of integrating CKB FLEX into their existing workflow.
Northwestern Medicine has long relied on Genomenon’s Cancer Knowledgebase (CKB) BOOST to accelerate and improve clinical variant interpretation. Now with the adoption of CKB FLEX, they are taking curation efficiency and flexibility to the next level - gaining direct access to variant data to support pipeline automation, advanced analytics and scalable reporting without leaving their system.
This webinar will take you behind the scenes on the implementation journey, from the strategic decision to upgrade to hands-on deployment and early wins. You will hear directly from the Northwestern team on the operational and technical drivers behind this transition and how they are aligning CKB FLEX with their future expansion goals.
Whether you are considering CKB FLEX or exploring a phased approach to integrating curated content to improve your oncology workflows, this webinar will provide you with valuable lessons from the field.
