6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

In the journey to realizing the promise of precision medicine, next-generation sequencing (NGS) has quickly emerged as a helpful tool to study multiple genes and mutation types in a single assay, thus preserving precious samples and significantly reducing the time to results. This workshop will highlight some of the latest NGS innovations in liquid biopsy, tumor mutation burden, hematology and solid tumor profiling research and testing. The talks will also showcase a simple reporting solution that links relevant mutations, fusions and copy number variants to labels, guidelines and clinical trials. Additionally, case studies will be presented on how NGS has been successfully implemented in a large academic cancer center and in a regional hospital system to streamline cancer research and testing. (For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.)

  • • Learn about the latest biomarkers and assays that are relevant to the field of oncology
  • • Understand how NGS can help your lab save precious samples and get rapid results
  • • Learn how your laboratory can implement NGS for clinical cancer research and testing
