Data Integrity: is the maintenance of, and the assurance of the accuracy and consistency of, data over its entire life-cycle, and is a critical aspect to the design, implementation and usage of any system which stores, processes, or retrieves data.
With prospective clinical sequencing of tumors emerging as a mainstay in cancer care, there is an urgent need for clinical support tools that aid clinicians in their decision making. To this...
This talk will reflect on what we can expect from the lab of the future and explore avenues towards such a digital lab. A major component of a digital lab is integration of instruments, syste...
In this presentation I will describe results from a family study designed to identify the genetic cause for familial clustering of several early onset cancers. Data from next generatio...

For 100 years the cannabis plant has been demonized, made illegal, and kept from researchers. Recently, states have begun to take the situation into their own hands, enabling patients to...
In today’s modern laboratory, resources are often stretched as laboratories struggle to manage multiple priorities, meet regulatory requirements, and contain costs. This is especially t...
