Oxford Nanopore at AACR 2025
The AACR Annual Meeting is the critical driver of progress against cancer, the place where scientists, clinicians, other health care professionals, survivors, patients, and advocates gather to share and discuss the latest breakthroughs. From population science and prevention; to cancer biology, translational, and clinical studies; to survivorship and advocacy; the AACR Annual Meeting showcases cutting-edge cancer science and medicine.
Oxford Nanopore will have a booth in the exhibit hall, and will host an Exhibitor Spotlight Theater Monday, April 28th, 2025. See session details below.

Unlock Transformative Cancer Insights: The power of ultra-rich nanopore sequencing
Join us to explore how nanopore sequencing enables the integration of multiomic molecular information to deepen our understanding of cancer biology and pave the way for more precise diagnostics in the future.
In this session, you will learn how Dr. Debarshi Mustafi, professor of ophthalmology at the UW School of Medicine is using nanopore sequencing to determine parent of origin in Retinoblastoma, which is associated with different disease trajectories.
Later, hear how Dr. Gabriel Griffin, Principal Investigator at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School, is leveraging direct DNA methylation sequencing to create a rapid epigenomic classifier for Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
Date: Monday, April 28th
Time: 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm CT
Location: Spotlight Theater C
