Every year, the Cancer Community Award, sponsored by AstraZeneca, presents an individual or organization

with the Catalyst for Precision Medicine Award. This award celebrates those who enhance the

ability to provide the right treatment for the right patient at the right time. In 2021,

Dr. Colin Pritchert received the award for his work as the Program Director for Cancer

Precision Diagnostics for the Broughtman-Baddy Institute for Precision Medicine of the University

of Washington. As we prepared for this year's awards, we reconnected with Dr. Pritchert to hear more

about what's happened since he received the award. Dr. Colin Pritchard, thank you so much for joining me today. I'm excited to hear more about what you've been up to in the past year.

Oh, yeah, me too. I'm excited to talk to you.

First, if you could just explain what you do, tell me how you explain it to people who are not in your field, who don't have any science background.

How do you break down the work that you do?

So I specialize in making genetic lab tests for cancer patients that look at multiple genes at once.

We like to make the test from scratch, do the research that identifies where the tests are useful

for cancer patients, and then actually implement those tests in the clinical lab that I'd

co-direct for use in cancer patients. So my role is kind of along that entire spectrum, doing

the research that provides the basis for the test, developing and validating the test

for clinical use, implementing that test to be used for cancer patients, and then day-to-day
