The second European Translational cancer research seminar series aims to help basic researchers, clinical scientists, clinicians and pathologists to understand how other leading clinical researchers are using novel approaches and solutions from Affymetrix to study the cancer genome from FFPE samples.

Genomic analysis of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue has previously been challenging due to the inability of current methods to effectively interrogate nucleic acid of poor quality and quantity typically obtained from these samples.

Today, however, novel solutions from Affymetrix for studying FFPE samples are accelerating cancer discoveries that are being successfully translated into clinical utility.
