This session is designed to improve understanding and application of recent updates to synoptic pathology reporting protocols such as the latest Reporting Template for Reporting Results of Biomarker Testing of Specimens from Patients with Carcinoma of the Breast. These changes reflect evolving clinical guidelines that directly influence diagnostic accuracy and treatment selection in breast cancer care.
Webinar presenters Thaer Khoury, MD, FCAP, Chair, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Cente, and Colin Murphy, CEO of mTuitive.
Moderated by: Bob McGonnagle, Publisher, CAP TODAY
Tuesday, June 9, 2026, 1:00–2:00 PM ET
In this webinar, we will examine how immune recognition after allogeneic HCT can influence leukemia relapse and disease progression. The session will highlight the clinical relevance of HLA loss of heterozygosity (LOH), approaches used for its detection, and how LOH findings may support transplant strategies, including considerations for donor selection in subsequent transplantation.
Webinar presenter Alberto Cardoso Martins Lima, PhD, Clinical consulting scientist in histocompatibility,
specializing in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) at IGEN/AFIP São Paulo and CHC/UFPR in Curitiba, Brazil

KIM-1 ELISA kit, 2/14
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.
New microtube shaking incubator, 2/14
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.
DNA enrichment kits, 2/14
February 2014—EKF Molecular Diagnostics launched four PointMan DNA enrichment kits for the research-use-only market, with planned diagnostic registration in Europe in 2014. As a real-time PCR technology, PointMan provides reliable and extremely sensitive detection of cancer mutations by amplifying the target sequence of interest in a background of wild-type genes. Using this technology, the enrichment kits are an ideal research tool for understanding biomarker and drug response.
Automated system for NGS library prep, 2/14
February 2014—To meet the needs of today’s next-generation sequencing projects, Aurora Biomed offers the VERSA NGS Library Prep Workstation for high throughput preparation of sample libraries. VERSA enables automated processing of up to 96 libraries in parallel with the high precision needed for quality results.
Myriad Genetics/BioMarin research collaboration, 2/14
February 2014—Myriad Genetics announced a research collaboration with BioMarin that will use Myriad’s novel HRD (homologous recombination deficiency) test to identify tumor types that may be sensitive to BioMarin’s investigational product candidate, BMN-673. Specific terms of the deal, the second research collaboration between the partners, were not disclosed.
