Revolution Medicines

Revolution Medicine enables physicians to integrate personalized medicine into their practices in order to more effectively treat patients. Our genes play an important role in determining how we respond to about 75% of prescription drugs. Scientific research has demonstrated which genes predict these responses. According to the American Medical Association (AMA), 98% of physicians agree that knowing a patient’s genetic profile would help in prescribing medications. Yet, 90% of physicians do not feel they are adequately informed about how to apply genetic testing to treatment decisions. Our mission is to improve the quality of patient care by helping doctors determine optimal treatment strategies and more accurately predict treatment responses. Revolution Medicine has developed ScriptMatch, an analytical process that enables physicians to easily incorporate genetic testing into their practices. Our company solves a major issue in the clinical market and addresses an emerging trend in patient-driven healthcare: having clinical results that become part of the medical record and applicable to future treatments.
