Lykke Grubach, Senior Molecular Biologist at Aalborg University Hospital, shared how her team’s journey with SOPHiA GENETICS since 2017 has evolved into a single, streamlined workflow across multiple Solid Tumor and Blood Cancer applications.
She highlights how SOPHiA GENETICS Universal Library Prep and automation transformed a fragmented, multi-day manual process into one unified workflow, freeing up significant technician time and accelerating turnaround time to results. The lab already handles 2,000 samples a year (10% of Denmark's national volume) and is set up to scale further as analysis needs evolve.
Watch the recording for practical insights and the outcomes Aalborg University Hospital has achieved since unifying its workflow.

SOPHiA DDM™ solutions are for Research Use Only (RUO); RUO results must not be used for clinical diagnosis or patient management without further validation by the laboratory.
Precision oncology depends on biomarker testing to uncover the molecular drivers of cancer. However, no single assay captures the full picture of tumor complexity. Tissue and liquid biopsy each offer distinct, complementary windows into solid tumor analysis, and combining them delivers a more comprehensive molecular view to guide decision-making.
This webinar will examine how tissue and liquid biopsy data can be unified within a decentralized workflow using the SOPHiA DDM™ Platform in combination with end-to-end Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) solutions, enabling comprehensive genomic profiling without compromising data locality or turnaround time.
Key topics will include:

Who Should Attend
Government laboratory specialists, bioinformaticians, pathologists, and public healthcare stakeholders involved in genomic testing and analysis.
Copy number variants (CNVs) are increasingly recognized as clinically significant biomarkers across a wide range of tumor types, with emerging evidence supporting their role in prognosis, therapeutic stratification, and disease characterization. Despite advances in CGP, accurate CNV detection and interpretation in solid tumors remains challenging, owing to tumor heterogeneity, assay complexity, and inconsistent analytical approaches.
In this webinar, participants will explore current challenges and considerations associated with CNV detection and interpretation in precision oncology research. Through real-world examples and discussion of CGP strategies, the webinar will examine approaches for improving scalability, consistency, and confidence in biomarker characterization.
Join us to gain insight into evolving approaches for CGP and the role of CNV analysis in advancing precision oncology research.
At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:

Evidence-based interpretation of oncogenic variants represents one of the most demanding and time-consuming tasks carried out by clinical laboratories today. The volume of emerging clinical evidence,and the multiplication of evidence sources across fragmented platforms, combined with the need fortimely and accurate reporting, places considerable pressure on laboratory workflows and the professionals who lead them.
In this webinar, Dr. Sara Allegrini, Head of Molecular Pathology at TomaLab, one of the largest genetic laboratories in Italy, examines how the integration of OncoPortal™ Knowledge Base within SOPHiADDM™ has reshaped their approach to oncology variant interpretation. The session draws on Dr.Allegrini's real-world experience to trace the laboratory's workflow evolution, from their previous use of OncoPortal™ Plus as a standalone module to the adoption of a fully integrated solution.
Dr. Allegrini will share first-hand insights into the challenges of evidence-based interpretation at scale,the criteria that guided TomaLab's adoption of OncoPortal™ Knowledge Base, and the impact observedon reporting efficiency and interpretation confidence. The session will also illustrate the value of the platform through concrete case examples, including rare alterations and complex findings where accessto curated, current evidence proved decisive.
At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:
