Webinars & Presentations
Finding flexibility in a resource-limited world
- Cynthia Schandl, M.D., Ph.D. and Julie Hirschhorn, Ph.D. of the Medical University of South Carolina
- November 6, 2019
- Drs. Schandl and Hirschhorn discuss their evaluation of the single-tube Stem-Loop Inhibition Mediated Amplification (SLIMamp®) technology from Pillar Biosciences for detection of variants in solid and myeloid tumors.
Making precision medicine accessible with SLIMamp®: robust, rapid, single-tube multiplex NGS panels
- Martin Zillmann, Ph.D., Chief Operating Officer and Vice President of Research and Development at Pillar Biosciences
- March 24, 2019
- Dr. Zillmann presented data demonstrating the performance of Pillar’s key proprietary NGS technologies, including SLIMamp® chemistry, ampPD™ primer design software, and PiVAT® bioinformatics pipeline software. Dr. Zillmann also presented data from de-identified clinical samples demonstrating high sensitivity for the detection of low allele frequency mutations from low DNA inputs.
