This session explores the evolving role of RAS in precision oncology, from the biology of RAS mutations to the expanding landscape of targeted therapies. Through expert presentations, real-world case discussions, and interactive audience polling, participants will examine best practices for RAS biomarker testing across solid tumors, including lung, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers. The session will highlight practical considerations for tissue and liquid biopsy, strategies to address testing gaps, and the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration to ensure timely identification of patients who may benefit from RAS-targeted therapies.
Webinar presenters David Braxton, MD, Chief of Molecular Pathology Services, Hoag Family Cancer Institute & Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian, and Carlos Becerra, MD, Research Director for Medical Oncology, Margaret Given Larkin Endowed Chair for Developmental Cancer Therapeutics, Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian

February 2014—Enzo Biochem published a study in Modern Pathology that shows a strong association between idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and the presence of the herpesvirus saimiri virus, a virus native to squirrel monkeys. The breakthrough discovery of the IPF’s origin is expected to result in a clinical diagnostic that could lead to screening and diagnosis, and perhaps result in potential treatment, for this fatal disease.
February 2014—Swift Biosciences announced the launch of the Accel-NGS PCR-free DNA Library Kit for Illumina next-generation sequencing systems. The kit is designed to bring low input requirement, PCR-free capability, and fast, easy workflow to the Illumina platform.
February 2014—Qiagen announced an agreement with Eli Lilly to develop and commercialize a molecular companion diagnostic paired with a novel Lilly oncology compound. This is the third co-development project by Qiagen and Lilly to create companion diagnostics.
February 2014—BioMérieux is moving forward with its comprehensive automation solution for reference or centralized molecular biology laboratories and has selected Life Technologies’ 7500 instruments as its preferred thermocyclers.
February 2014—Ventana Medical Systems’ HER2/neu (4B5) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody assay is a companion diagnostic for detecting HER2 protein expression in patients who, in countries where the drugs are approved, may be appropriate candidates for Perjeta (pertuzumab) and Kadcyla (ado-trastuzumab emtansine).
February 2014—Ventana Medical Systems received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for the Companion Algorithm ER (SP1) image-analysis algorithm used with the Ventana iScan Coreo scanner running Virtuoso software.
February 2014—Chembio Diagnostics, a provider of point-of-care diagnostic tests for infectious diseases, has filed a CLIA waiver application with the FDA for its DPP HIV 1/2 Assay.
February 2014—ViroStat has developed three new monoclonal antibodies to the nucleocapsid protein (N) of hantavirus. One of these recognizes all viruses tested (six) while the other two recognize four viral species. These new antibodies are useful tools to further the research of this viral genus.
February 2014—Enzo Life Sciences now offers a KIM-1 ELISA kit. Kidney injury marker 1 (KIM-1) is the most highly upregulated protein in the proximal tubule of the injured kidney and is detectable in the urine within six hours of injury. KIM-1 has been identified as an early diagnostic and prognostic marker of acute kidney injury resulting from illness, trauma, or nephrotoxicity, and with decreased kidney function and renal failure associated with chronic disorders such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
February 2014—Bioresearch equipment provider Labnet International has announced the launch of an addition to Labnet’s constant temperature equipment line with the release of the new AccuTherm Microtube Shaking Incubator.
