In 2020, we brought thousands of professionals together for our inaugural, virtual next-generation sequencing (NGS) education meetings. This year, we are back with new live presentations on April 29th!
Join us to hear from pathology labs on important topics like hot and emerging biomarker testing, such as genomic instability, and new user experiences with the Ion Torrent Genexus NGS System in solid and hematologic tumor clinical research.
What can you expect from OncomineWorld 2021?
In addition to our great lineup of live presentations, you will also have access to all that the OncomineWorld universe has to offer -
Earn CE credits from on-demand or live presentations and explore our virtual laboratories to learn about the new world of easy and fast NGS – the Genexus System. Explore NGS application areas like emerging NSCLC biomarkers, comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP), liquid biopsy research, and hemato-oncology research.
Sincerely,

I joined Tata Medical centre, Kolkata in 2013 and work in the service diagnostic laboratory as a consultant pathologist, taking care of the rotuine haematopathology, lymphoma pathology, flow cytometry and Molecular genetics. I along with my team have been involved in developing and implementing flowcytometry based minimal residual disease assays for haematological diseases like ALL and multiple myeloma. I have stong interest in lymphoma pathology and report the lymph nodes/bone marrow aspirates/biopsies.
Under the guidance and vision of Dr Mammen Chandy (Director TMC) I have had the opportunity of successfully setting up affordable diagnostic molecular solutions for haematological and solid tumours using the latest techniques like NGS, digital PCR. Over the last 4-5 years we have successfully established and implemented molecular driven (Ion torrent based tissue genotyping for EGFR; digital PCR based T790M assays, cfDNA based EGFR genotyping, Oncomine comprehensve myeloid assays), standard treatment of care for our patients.
I am involved in running and teaching fellows from the fellowship courses in haematopathology and molecular pathology.

A PhD in the University of Auckland led to a four-year postdoctoral fellowship in the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne, Australia before six years in Cambridge University, UK, where he was a Fellow of St Edmunds College and developed a deep interest in genomics and bioinformatics. While there he co-founded a bioinformatics company that became listed on the Tokyo stock exchange in 2007. In 2005 he returned to the University of Auckland where he leads a cross-disciplinary research team of clinicians, cell biologists and data scientists who use genomics, systems biology and bioinformatics to better understand human disease, especially cancer. He leads the Genomics Into Medicine Strategic Research Initiative in Auckland and Chairs the Auckland Regional Tissue Bank Scientific Advisory Board. He is a Deputy Chair of the NZ Institute of Environmental Science and Research (ESR) and a Principle Investigator in the Maurice Wilkins Centre. Previously, he served as President of the NZ Society for Oncology and was Director of the Bioinformatics Institute at the University of Auckland.
Artur Kowalik, PhD, is a specialist in medical laboratory genetics. He is Head of the Department of Molecular Diagnostics at the Holycross Cancer Centre in Kielce. He also works at the Department of Medical Biology, Institute of Biology, Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce. The Department of Molecular Diagnostics performs molecular diagnostic tests for the patients treated in the Holycross Cancer Center in Kielce and many other centers in Poland. The group of tests performed includes stratification of patients with solid tumors for treatment with targeted therapies, detection of hereditary predisposition to cancer and diagnostics and monitoring of treatment effectiveness in hemato-oncology. The Department was the first in Poland to perform BRCA1/2 gene analysis for genetic counseling, using the NGS method. His research interests include cancer biology using modern molecular biology methods such as NGS and the application of liquid biopsy for cancer classification and monitoring of cancer treatment effectiveness.
