Speaker: Persephone du Parcq, Lead Clinical/Translational Scientist, Synnovis, UK
In this webinar, Dr. Persephone du Parcq shares how Synnovis has deployed the MSK-ACCESS™ powered with SOPHiA DDM™ to support precision oncology through minimally invasive liquid biopsy testing.
The webinar explores current clinical applications of ctDNA analysis, its demonstrated utility in routine healthcare, and key considerations around assay selection, validation strategies, and interpretation challenges including germline findings and clonal haematopoiesis. Practical insights into clinical impact, operational achievements to date, and lessons learned from clinical implementation are also discussed.
Finally, the session looks ahead to future directions for liquid biopsy in oncology, including opportunities to expand clinical adoption and improve patient care through advanced genomic technologies.
We are thrilled to be at the inaugural World Clinical Biomarkers & Companion Diagnostics Summit Japan. Join us and meet our BioPharma team to learn how we help BioPharma companies address challenges throughout the drug development continuum, enhancing efficiency and precision to accelerate the development of better and more effective precision therapeutics.
The SOPHiA GENETICS team is thrilled to see you join our Plenary Talk.
Plenary talk on Tuesday, May 19th from 12.50 to 1.20 pm.
“Liquid Biopsy in Japan: From Global Vision to Local Reality”
Philippe Menu, MD, PhD, MBA, EVP, Chief Medical & Product Officer, SOPHiA GENETICS
Michel Mommejat, President/Representative Director and Chief Innovation Officer, A.D.A.M. Innovations
In this webinar, PD Dr. Daniel Kazdal, Head of Technology and Assay Development at the Center for Molecular Pathology, Universitätsklinikum Heidelberg, provides a practical overview of liquid biopsy testing in routine molecular diagnostics.
The session explores the clinical value of liquid biopsy, key challenges in result interpretation—particularly the impact of clonal hematopoiesis (CHIP) and real-world experience with decentralized MSK-ACCESS® testing powered by SOPHiA DDM™ at Heidelberg University Hospital. Through workflow insights and routine case examples, the webinar highlights how liquid biopsy supports accurate data interpretation and informed clinical decision-making, while also outlining future directions for its implementation in precision oncology.
Liquid biopsy has emerged as a revolutionary technology in the precision medicine field, by offering a non-invasive alternative to traditional tumor biopsies. While its potential for tumor detection and monitoring continues to grow, global adoption remains limited due to technical, workflow, and access-related barriers. In a leading partnership with AstraZeneca, SOPHiA GENETICS is expanding access to liquid biopsy testing through the deployment of MSK-ACCESS® powered with SOPHiA DDM™, a best-in-class and decentralized NGS-based assay.
Join this insightful workshop to explore how a decentralized approach enables broader patient access to testing and accelerates pharmaceutical development, setting new standards in precision oncology.

Decentralized Liquid Biopsy Testing Using MSK-ACCESS® with SOPHiA DDM™: Insights from Multi-Cancer Clinical Profiling in OncoHelix
Presented by: Dr. Rehan Mujeeb Faridi, Director of Molecular Diagnostics, OncoHelix
MSK-IMPACT is a targeted tissue-based sequencing test for comprehensive genomic profiling. MSK-ACCESS is a liquid biopsy test that enables non-invasive profiling and longitudinal disease monitoring. Together, they provide robust insights that help guide treatment decisions for improved outcomes in patients with advanced cancer. Unlike most tests, MSK leverages matched tumor-normal sequencing to remove germline and clonal hematopoietic variants, revealing genomic alterations of true somatic origin.
In this webinar, A. Rose Brannon, director of clinical bioinformatics at MSK, and Anita S. Bowman, associate director of clinical bioinformatics at MSK, will:
Join us at the 14th International Symposium on Minimal Residual Cancer (ISMRC) in Nice, France, where experts gather to explore the latest advancements in liquid biopsy. Discover how SOPHiA GENETICS is transforming cancer care through innovative solutions at the forefront of precision oncology. Visit our booth to learn more and connect with our team—see you there!
SOPHiA GENETICS (Nasdaq: SOPH), a cloud-native healthcare technology company and a global leader in data-driven medicine, recently joined the European Liquid Biopsy Society (ELBS), a prestigious network consisting of partners from academia and industry with the common goal of making liquid biopsy tests part of the routine standard of care.
SOPHiA GENETICS offers a comprehensive suite of liquid biopsy applications that are helping to progress oncology research and tumor mutation profiling. Liquid biopsy offers an alternative to solid tumor testing by isolating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from blood plasma. This testing approach allows for non-invasive cancer genomic profiling and disease monitoring, revealing critical insights in cases where tissue biopsy may not be feasible. However, liquid biopsy still faces challenges, including workflow standardization and broad adoption across the globe.
Building on the momentum of the recent launch of MSK-ACCESS® powered with SOPHiA DDM™ earlier this year, we would like to develop a community of knowledge, where peers can connect, share experiences, and hear the latest updates regarding the implementation of decentralized Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) applications.
In this webinar, attendees will:
➡️ Learn more about Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center’s and
SOPHiA GENETICS’s strategies to lower liquid biopsy hurdles.
➡️ Learn more about the evolution of MSK-ACCESS® assay.
➡️ Hear about the evidence-generation efforts to demonstrate the clinical utility of MSK-ACCESS® powered with SOPHiA DDM™
➡️ Gain insights into new analytical performance data from early adopters across Europe
➡️ Get the latest updates and discuss our initiative to facilitate sample sharing among centers
