Cutting-edge diagnostic tools and screening programs continue to evolve, enhancing disease detection and monitoring. Rockefeller Center hosted a large-scale hereditary cancer genetic testing event, distributing Myriad Genetics’ 48-gene panel kits to underrepresented communities to boost screening awareness. Oxford Nanopore introduced a 24-hour rapid whole-genome sequencing workflow aimed at neonatal intensive care settings, promising swift genetic insights. In infectious disease diagnostics, novel respiratory panels targeting multiple viral pathogens have been submitted for FDA clearance, optimizing laboratory efficiency and accuracy.
