 Contemporary serologic testing has revolutionized the field of celiac disease. Highly accurate serologic assays have shown the prevalence of celiac disease to be nearly 1:100 in many populat...
Female cancer patients in the reproductive years face a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures which pose teratogenic hazards to an unexpected pregnancy. Ionizing radiation, diagnos...
When the BCR/ABL1 fusion protein was identified in chronic myelogenous leukemia and the JAK2 V617F mutation was identified in patients with other myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) such as p...
Over the last decade we have witnessed tremendous advances in our understanding of the underlying molecular alterations in human cancer. This has stimulated excitement for our ability to deve...
Survival rates for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain unacceptably low compared to other common solid tumors. This mortality reflects a weakness in conventional staging, as...
Although robust and clinically meaningful biomarkers are key to achieving the current vision for precision (molecularly based), cancer medicine (patient stratification, early diagnosis, drug...
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized extraction of genomic information, facilitating rapid advances in the fields of clinical research and molecular diagnostics. However, c...
The effective implementation of personalised cancer therapeutic regimens depends on the successful identification and translation of informative biomarkers to aid clinical decision-making. An...
  Influenza is a major clinical and public health issue. Rapid, accurate diagnostics for influenza have the potential to improve the efficacy of therapy, limit antibiotic over-use, conserve ...
This presentation will focus on NuMediis general approach towards the discovery of new therapeutic uses for existing drugs. While the business models for repurposing marketed drugs versus rep...
In this webinar, we will describe a comprehensive approach for NGS-based marker discovery and the successful migration of these markers to targeted NGS assays using low-quality (FFPE) and low...
Medical applications of genetics and genomics have been advancing dramatically since completion of the sequencing of the human genome. The cost of DNA sequencing has plummeted, leading to the...
