Increasingly, life science companies are applying omics-based testing to clinical trials. These tests support precision medicine models for the study of rare cancers and other diseases. Genomics research tests, for example, can help account for diverse drug responses and outcomes caused by genetic differences in trial participants.
While we at Egnyte don’t think of ourselves as a storage company, the very act of storing files— billions and billions of them—is fundamental to what we do. Our customers need to secure, access, and share files, so storage is something we have to get right.
