Decoding Pediatric Cancers: Multiomic Insights Powered by Nanopore Sequencing


Want to share this FREE webinar with a colleague?

Fill out the form below and we'll send your colleague an invitation to the "Decoding Pediatric Cancers: Multiomic Insights Powered by Nanopore Sequencing" event.

This webinar features two pioneering teams leveraging Oxford Nanopore technology to revolutionize the characterization and diagnosis of pediatric cancers.


Dr. Jeremy Wang, from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, will discuss how a novel target enrichment approach leveraging Oxford Nanopore DNA sequencing has the potential to simplify diagnosis and accelerate treatment decisions for pediatric acute leukemia with a single assay.


Dr. Adam Shlien from SickKids will present OTTER, an RNA-sequencing platform powered by a novel AI algorithm, which is designed to enhance the speed and accuracy of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) diagnostics. Coupled with nanopore sequencing, OTTER represents a potential leap-frog technology for oncology in low- and middle-income countries.


Attend this webinar to:

  • Learn how nanopore sequencing and adaptive sampling could revolutionize acute myeloid leukemia pediatric cancer classification
  • Examine how RNA sequencing using Oxford Nanopore technology can enhance the accuracy and speed of ALL profiling
  • Recognise the global implications of deploying portable, rapid sequencing technologies in regions where pediatric cancer mortality is rising
