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.

May 2021—Dyad Enterprise, formed in early 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, offers customizable COVID-19 kits and components based on specimen type, handling, and shipping requirements. Products include customizable nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal COVID-19 specimen collection kits as well as saliva collection kits. COVID-19 antigen tests are also available. All products are available for immediate shipment.
May 2021—Adaptive Biotechnologies Corp. launched its T-Detect COVID, a clinical T-cell–based test to identify people who have evidence of a cellular immune response against SARS-CoV-2. It uses Adaptive’s immunoSEQ technology to sequence T-cell receptors from a blood sample and identifies TCRs that the company has mapped for recognition of SARS-CoV-2 antigens.
May 2021—Qiagen announced the global launch of the CE-IVD-marked QIAcube Connect MDx, a flexible platform for automated sample processing available now to molecular diagnostic laboratories in the U.S., Canada, the European Union, and other markets worldwide.
May 2021—Seegene announced it has submitted its Allplex SARS-CoV-2/FluA/FluB/RSV Assay to the FDA for emergency use authorization.
May 2021—Thermo Fisher Scientific launched its Applied Biosystems TaqMan SARS-CoV-2 Mutation Panel, with a customizable menu of 22 verified real-time PCR assays for identification of SARS-CoV-2 mutations. The assays enable surveillance of variants that cause COVID-19 infection in specific regions globally and allow laboratories to choose which mutations to track.
May 2021—The FDA granted emergency use authorization for Abbott’s Alinity m Resp-4-Plex molecular assay, which detects and differentiates SARS-CoV-2, influenza A and B, and respiratory syncytial virus in one test. The test is CE marked and available in countries outside the U.S.
May 2021—Promega Corp. released its XpressAmp Direct Amplification Reagents. The product contains components for performing extraction-free preparation of viral samples for PCR-based amplification using commonly available PCR reagents from samples collected by nasopharyngeal swab in universal or viral transport medium. The reagents allow the user to perform direct amplification analysis in RT-qPCR following a 10-minute, room-temperature incubation.
May 2021—Quidel received FDA emergency use authorization allowing the company to market its QuickVue At-Home OTC COVID-19 Test for the qualitative detection of the nucleocapsid protein antigen from SARS-CoV-2 from individuals with or without symptoms or other epidemiological reasons to suspect COVID-19 when tested twice over two or three days, with at least 24 hours, but no more than 36 hours, between tests. This test is authorized for nonprescription home use with self-collected direct anterior nares specimens from individuals aged 14 years and older or with adult-collected anterior NS samples from individuals who are two years old or older.
April 2021—BD announced FDA emergency use authorization for its BD SARS-CoV-2/Flu assay, a molecular diagnostic test for SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A and B that provides results in two to three hours. The test also has been CE marked to the IVD directive.
April 2021—Bio SB has developed a new panel of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies to identify the COVID-19 virus, its receptors, and its cytokines by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded biopsies. The antibodies identify ACE2, CD147, and TMPRSS2 receptors and include markers for immune response factors and vascular cells, with the intention to assess the pathological damage caused by COVID-19, cytokine storm syndrome, and coagulopathy, using single and multiplex IHC and immunofluorescence on FFPE tissues.
