TAIPEI, Jan. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Illumina Taiwan Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and Precision Medicine Asia, Limited (PREMIA), a leading Asian cancer clinical-genomic screening network, today announced the formation of a strategic partnership that will expand access to comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) for all eligible oncology patients across the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (CGMH) system. This partnership also aims to support the creation of an Asia-wide clinical-genomic oncology database to advance precision oncology.

"We are committed to ensuring that all cancer patients benefit from the most advanced medical science available," stated Dr. Chang-Fu Kuo, Director of the Center for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine at CGMH. "Integrating CGP will streamline our testing workflows and help clinicians gain a better understanding of each patient's tumor biology, enabling them to routinely consider key genomic insights alongside clinical judgement and established guidelines to provide patients with more informed and personalized treatment plans."

Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, one of Taiwan's leading healthcare systems and medical centers serving approximately 2.7 million patients each year, with over 300 industry-sponsored clinical trials currently ongoing throughout the system, has long been dedicated to translating cutting-edge technologies into clinical practice.

Jerry Cheng, General Manager for Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao at Illumina, added, "Illumina remains at the forefront of advanced oncology profiling solutions, empowering clinicians to gain clinically and scientifically meaningful insights faster. This partnership will accelerate personalized care decisions at CGMH, and through the depth and scale of data generated over time, together with clinicians and industry partners, we look forward to supporting translational research and drug development across Asia."

In May 2024, CGP was incorporated into Taiwan's National Health Insurance (NHI) program.
