POA Working Groups
The Precision Oncology Alliance™ Working Groups identify leadership opportunities, author publications, and develop protocols.
Working Groups
With support from our POA staff, members meet regularly and focus on research strategies, publication activities and develop protocols within the disease state of interest. These meetings give all members the opportunity to lead discussions and collaborate on best practices and guidelines for clinical trials as well as review the overall implications for patients. Currently, there are 18 disease groups within the POA and registration for all meetings can be found here.
