Cancer Genetics – Webinars and Online Events

This symposium brings together world-leading experts in cancer research and translational medicine to showcase how nanopore sequencing technology is being utilized to identify novel disease biomarkers.

From the characterization of small biomarkers, like circulating tumor DNA and single-nucleotide variants, to large structural variants and base modifications, nanopore sequencing delivers comprehensive insights into the cancer genome.

The speakers will discuss targeted and genome-wide detection of circulating tumor DNA, exploration of brain tumors and sarcomas and how nanopore sequencing has advanced their research.

The number of viral vector-based gene therapies in clinical trials has recently grown into the thousands due to the tremendous genetic disease-curing potential they harbor. Yet the comprehensive characterization of critical quality attributes for the safety and efficacy of the material produced for these trials remains a challenge for both manufacturers and regulatory bodies alike.

The last twenty years have experienced extensive growth in the sequencing of cancer genomes, leading to a dramatically increased understanding of the role of genetic and epigenetic mutations in cancer.
