Immunotherapy biomarkers: friends or foes?
Immunotherapy is changing the cancer care paradigm: for a small but significant group of patients, cancer has become a chronic disease and immunotherapy biomarkers like PD-L1 play an important role. In this presentation, Professor Kerr will provide a summary of the immunotherapy treatment landscape, address what makes immunotherapy biomarkers unique compared to biomarkers like HER-2 and ALK, describe the function (physiologic and as a biomarker) of PD-L1 and other biomarkers relevant to the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway. He will also address the role of emerging immunotherapy biomarkers that are independent of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway.

Multiplexed immunofluorescence and digital image analysis for clinical use Recorded: Jun 28 2018 63 mins
Mehrnoush Khojasteh, PhD & Lei Tang, PhDThere is an ever increasing need to understand the role of the Tumor Microenvironment (TME) in Cancer Immunotherapy. In this webinar, Drs. Lei Tang, PhD and Mehrnoush Khojasteh,PhD of Roche Tissue Diagnostics (Ventana Medical Systems, Inc.), present their work on multiplex immunofluorescence staining and digital pathology analysis in a CAP/CLIA certified laboratory. Multiplexed immunohistochemistry (IHC) enables the spatial characterization of TME immune cells and tumor cells by detecting multiple biomarkers while preserving tissue morphology. Co-expression of multiple biomarkers and relative spatial relationships requires whole slide digital pathology image analysis algorithms that are tailored to individual assays and their intended uses. The process described in this presentation demonstrates how multiplexing and digital pathology enable biotech and pharmaceutical research and development teams to explore the potential medical value of specific biomarkers, -
