Massively parallel sequencing technology has proven to enable the identification of driver genetic alterations in patients' tumors that may be suppressed by targeted therapies. Through retros...
In this presentation I describe some of the approaches we are taking to identify the genetic architecture of common complex cancers with a particular focus on the etiology of lung cancer. Can...
A 2013 survey conducted by the Woodrow Wilson Synthetic Biology Project found that 75% of adults have heard just a little or nothing at all about synthetic biology, figures that were virtuall...
The process of implementing molecular assays in labs can be tedious, with new labs lacking knowledge and existing labs wanting to simplify and streamline their implementation process. Our web...
Development of a companion diagnostic can be critical to the success of a drug. Pharmaceutical companies are committing more and more of their efforts to discover and deliver targeted therapi...
