Clinical Virology Symposium 2019 – Workshop

Part of a workshop presented at the Clinical Virology Symposium on May 6th, 2019 by Dr. Benjamin Pinsky, Associate Professor of Pathology and Medicine at Stanford Health Care and Stanford Children’s Health.

Dr. Pinsky outlines the current state of clinical virology testing for immunocompromised hosts and presents data from a single institution retrospective study of the Galileo™-Transplant NGS Pipeline for detection and quantitation of DNA viruses conducted at Stanford Health Care.

In this presentation you will learn:

  • Why deploying NGS-based metagenomics (mNGS) into your laboratory makes sense
  • How mNGS compares with and improves upon qPCR as a detection platform
  • How to validate mNGS-based assays in your laboratory
  • How mNGS identified additional viruses missed by conventional qPCR in over 50% of samples

Clinical Virology Symposium 2019 – Full Workshop

This workshop was presented at the Clinical Virology Symposium on May 6th, 2019 by:

  • Dr. Benjamin Pinsky of Stanford Health Care and Stanford Children’s Clinic
  • Dr. Julianne Brown of Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust
  • Dr. Jesus Ching, Senior Vice President of R&D at Arc Bio.

The workshop examines the use of NGS-based metagenomics as a platform for pathogen detection in the clinical virology laboratory.

In these workshop presentations you will learn:

  • What is NGS-based metagenomics (mNGS) is and how it can be applied to pathogen detection
  • How mNGS compares with and improves upon qPCR as a detection platform
  • What the mNGS workflow looks like when deployed in your laboratory
  • Why deploying mNGS into your laboratory makes sense
  • How mNGS has been used to identify unexpected and novel pathogens related to viral encephalitis
  • How mNGS identified additional viruses missed by conventional qPCR in over 50% of samples
  • How to validate mNGS-based assays in your laboratory
  • How Arc Bio has approached mNGS with its Galileo™ platform

Clinical Virology Symposium 2019 – Workshop

Part of a workshop presented at the Clinical Virology Symposium on May 6th, 2019 by Dr. Julianne Brown, Clinical Scientist at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust in London.

Dr. Brown discusses the challenges and benefits of using NGS-based metagenomics in the diagnosis and characterization of viral encephalitis cases and it’s a comparison to the use of qPCR as a diagnostics tool.

In this presentation you will learn:

  • What is NGS-based metagenomics (mNGS) is and how it can be applied to pathogen detection
  • What the mNGS workflow looks like when deployed in your laboratory
  • Why deploying mNGS into your laboratory makes sense
