Workshop
Sunday
April 19, 2026
3:30-4:30 pm
Theater C
Speaker: Dr. Alex Robertson, Director, CompBio Informatics at Foundation Medicine
This workshop will present recent advances in the AXELIOS 1 platform, powered by sequencing by expansion (SBX) technology, and highlight new methods recently demonstrated on the platform. Alex Robertson, Foundation Medicine will share early access experiences with SBX, including in-depth data analyses of a WGS based approach to detect low ctDNA levels from limited cfDNA. By sequencing the whole genome of a solid tissue and a matched plasma sample, high accuracy and sensitivity can be achieved on the prototype platform. Data comparison to an alternate platform will also be presented.
AXELIOS 1 is still in development and not currently available.
