Corporate workshops—Wednesday, Nov 20, 2024:

IDT is excited to showcase how we are empowering researchers in the cancer research space by offering configurable NGS solutions and customizable workflow components to generate confident insights.

Scoring the GOAL: The Genomics Organization for Academic Laboratories

Location: Room 119 & 120, Level 1
9:00–9:50 am PST

The GOAL (Genomics Organization for Academic Laboratories) Consortium unites academic researchers, institutions, and industry partners to advance genomics research by making technologies more accessible and affordable. Through its collaboration with Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT), the Consortium reduces barriers to advanced research, enabling academic labs to conduct high-quality genomics studies.

Speakers:

• Andrew Nelson, MD, PhD—University of Minnesota
• Dara L. Aisner, MD, PhD—University of Colorado

The importance of allele-specific copy number analysis in characterizing response to synthetic lethal agents

Location: Room 119 & 120, Level 1
10:00–10:50 am PST

Allele-specific copy number analysis (ASCNA) is critical to define the extent of tumor suppressor loss of function (LOF) and contextualize the clinical response to synthetic lethal (SL) agents. Targeting tumor suppressors through SL is poised to usher in a new wave of precision oncology, but there remains a need for assays that provide reliable ASCNA. Learn how Repare Therapeutics developed an Archer technology-based NGS assay designed to perform retrospective ASCNA and identify biallelic LOF in genes predicted to sensitize to an investigational SL agent. Hear how their post-hoc analysis demonstrated the potential of biallelic LOF as a relevant biomarker in patients with solid tumors treated with an SL agent.

Speaker:

• Ian Silverman, PhD—Director of Bioinformatics, Repare Therapeutics
