    Two Industry Leaders on the Growing Complexity of Genomic Cancer Data

    In this podcast, Mendelspod’s Theral Timpson speaks to Cara Statz from JAX and Erica Schnettler from Illumina about how their combined technologies are helping researchers and oncologists deal with the increasing complexity of cancer genomic data. They discuss oncologists' experience dealing with an overwhelming amount of new scientific data, and both guests give their advice for new labs setting up cancer testing and oncology clinical research.

    How Do You Train Genomics AI? On Natural Selection Itself, Says VP of Illumina's AI Lab, Kyle Farh

    In this podcast, Mendelspod’s Theral Timpson speaks to Kyle Farh, VP and distinguished scientist leading Illumina’s Artificial Intelligence Lab. Farh says the company began the AI lab seven years ago when deep learning was just taking off. Two of the team’s AI algorithms, PrimateAI-3D and SpliceAI, published in Cell and Nature Genetics, were among the first examples of deep learning algorithms in genomics. This interview takes a close look at Illumina’s activities in AI and delves into the long-term impact of AI on genomics.

    Illumina Scales Variant Calling and Genome Interpretation to Improve Gaps in Genetic Testing

    In this podcast, Mendelspod’s Theral Timpson is joined by Sam Strom, a principal scientist at Illumina with a background in clinical testing. In this interview, Sam addresses two of the big challenges in clinical sequencing, which are variant calling and variant interpretation. Sam says Illumina has created its own multi-sample genomic reference and is also making use of artificial intelligence to improve variant calling. He also shares how Illumina supports scaling variant interpretation for genomes and other assays with an AI and automation comprehensive solution, enabling high-quality genetic testing workflows to reach next level accessibility.

    ctDNA-guided treatment in colorectal cancer

    Jeanne Tie, MD, discusses the DYNAMIC trial and areas of unmet needs for minimal residual disease (MRD) to become the standard of care for patients with colorectal cancer. The DYNAMIC trial showed that a ctDNA-guided approach reduces the use of adjuvant treatment in patients with stage II colon cancer without compromising their clinical outcome. Jeanne Tie is a medical oncologist and professor at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.

    Liquid biopsy NGS in cancer care

    Pashtoon Kasi, MD, MS, explains how liquid biopsy next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based testing can benefit cancer patients. Dr. Kasi presents four colorectal cancer patient cases for whom comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) was done via liquid biopsy and results for clinically-relevant biomarkers were obtained in 7-8 days.
