Genomic Testing is designed to help identify DNA alterations and is done on cancerous tissue in order to provide information with it. It evaluates the genes in a sample of diseased tissue from a cancer patient.
My laboratory at the Garvan Institute operates an ISO 15189 and NATA accredited laboratory for testing of patients using whole genome and whole exome sequencing, as well as gene panel testin...

QIAGEN CLC Genomics Workbench is a powerful solution to analyze and visualize next generation sequencing (NGS) data. Powered by cutting-edge technology and accelerated algorithms, it support...
CRISPR revolutionized gene editing, but multi-target screening remains a complex goal. In addition, the fast pace of CRISPR technology development has brought sophisticated options for libra...
Recent advances in DNA sequencing and omics-based capabilities are revealing incredible therapeutic opportunities and quickly transforming drug discovery. Molecularly targeted drugs aim to e...
Accurate DNA replication is essential to transmit the genetic information from one generation to another. However, replication is frequently challenged by barriers that originate from exogen...
“The poor translatability of early-stage preclinical models is a major setback in oncology drug development. Immortalized cell lines, that are extensively used in drug screens, undergo...

Metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) refractory to secondary hormonal treatments such as enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate are the most lethal of prostate cancers. In thi...
Tumor mutational burden (TMB) is an emerging biomarker that correlates with response to immunotherapeutic agents, such as checkpoint inhibitors. Recent studies indicate that a high mutation l...
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common bone tumor in pediatric and adolescent/young adult patients. Over the past three decades, significant improvements in the survival rates or therapeutic ap...
Accumulation of structural variations (SVs) across the genome is a known trigger factor for oncogenesis. Structural mutations have been clearly implicated in a number of cancers, most notably...
Blockade of CTLA-4 and PD-1, members of the B7/CD28 family, have proven to be the most successful cancer immunotherapies to date. While the current therapeutic focus remains on B7/CD28 family...
Copy-number alterations and chromosomal translocations are widespread in cancer and frequently causing oncogenic mutations that drive tumorigenesis and therapy resistance. Despite their preva...
In this webinar, we will be discussing some of our most recent testing using our Cas9 proteins, Cas9 RNP nickases in a variety of human cell types, including primary T-cells. Cas nucleases wh...
