About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Thermo Fisher Scientific Announces Oncomine Clinical Research Grant Awardees and Opens Spring 2023 Submissions

Research projects supported across 14 countries globally to expand the benefits of next-generation sequencing worldwide

In support of global initiatives to advance molecular profiling in oncology, Thermo Fisher Scientific today announced the latest recipients of the Oncomine Clinical Research Grant and the opening of its submissions for Spring 2023. Grant recipients are leading the exploration of new and expanded applications for next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based testing so that more cancer patients can access the benefits of precision medicine.

First introduced in 2020, the Oncomine Clinical Research Grant is awarded to independent clinical research teams with financial support up to $200,000 in reagents and general funding for their studies. Grants have been awarded to 22 unique research projects across 14 countries and five continents in areas including hematology-oncology, immune-oncology, liquid biopsy and gene fusion detection, all of which help advance vital clinical research in support of accessible and rapid NGS.

According to Jose Luis Costa, Ph.D., global director, scientific affairs, clinical next-generation sequencing and oncology, at Thermo Fisher Scientific, “As genomics continue to power clinical trials and patient care, we at Thermo Fisher feel that we are well positioned to enable researchers to unleash the full value and potential of NGS in oncology. We believe continuous support to clinical researchers and their projects supports the promise of precision medicine while democratizing access to NGS technologies for more patients globally. We stand by this promise by providing them with tangible means to achieve these goals.”

Grant Recipients Named

Based on the last call for proposals in the fall, the following researchers and projects have been selected as the newest grant recipients:

  • Monica Lopez-Guerra, Hospital Clinic, Barcelona, Spain - “Molecular measurable residual disease (MRD) monitoring by high-throughput techniques in patients with CART 19 therapy”
  • Estrid Høgdall, Herlev University Hospital, Herlev, Denmark - “HRD biomarker: Qualification and implementation of validated local HRD test”
  • Paul Hofman, University of Côte d’Azur, France - “Comprehensive molecular characterization of early-stage NSCLC with KRAS G12C mutation using ODxET*”

Previous grant recipients have already started to further explore the potential of their research in regard to the impact of NGS testing. Dr. Kojo S.J. Elenitoba-Johnson, MD, now with the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and his former team at the University of Pennsylvania, were 2020 recipients of the grant program. They recently published research in The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics, which found rapid NGS solutions that can deliver results in 24 hours or less can help accelerate the time to targeted treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients.

In relation to his team’s research, Dr. Elenitoba-Johnson noted, “AML has a low five-year survival rate, and we know that patients need to start an optimized, targeted therapy as quickly as possible to ensure they have a fighting chance. Our study supported by the Oncomine Clinical Research Grant shows how the rapid turnaround time associated with automated NGS solutions has the potential to have a real impact on patient outcomes.”

This fall, current and former recipients of the Oncomine Clinical Research Grant will have the opportunity to attend a closed scientific gala to share their research with the wider pharmaceutical community.

Grant applications are open now through May 15th, 2023, and proposals should recognize the planned activities to be performed within a maximum of 12 months, as well as an outline of the proposed use of the requested funds. Oncomine Grants are available for clinical research projects focusing on molecular testing in oncology and reproductive health.
