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, Including First Recipients in India and the Netherlands

Recipients’ research advances future development of oncology diagnostics, the impact of DNA quality on ovarian cancer outcomes and molecular diagnosis with T cell receptor convergence

At the 36th annual European Congress of Pathology in Florence, Italy, Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader serving science, announced the latest recipients of the Oncomine Clinical Research Grant, designed to support emerging research on molecular profiling in oncology and to help democratize the future of precision medicine. Now in its fourth year, the grant recognizes research from Tata Memorial Centre in India; Leiden University Center in The Netherlands; Western University in Canada; and Fred Hutch Cancer Center in the U.S.

Since its introduction in 2020, the Oncomine Clinical Research Grant program has awarded reagents and general funding for 26 unique research projects conducted by independent clinical research teams. This research spans across 16 countries and five continents, encompassing research in solid-tumors, pediatric oncology, hemato-oncology, immune-oncology and liquid biopsy, all of which help enhance the understanding of potential new applications for accessible and rapid next-generation sequencing (NGS).

“This year, we saw the highest number of Oncomine Clinical Research Grant submissions since the program began in 2020. It’s a clear indication of the industry-wide push to accelerate research that explores the impacts of genomic discovery,” said Jose Luis Costa, Ph.D., global director, scientific affairs, clinical next-generation sequencing and oncology, Thermo Fisher Scientific. "As we continue to be inspired by the achievements and discoveries of the previous awardees, doubling down on supporting the next generation of clinical researchers who will further contribute to democratizing access to NGS technology is our key priority."

Global Footprint of Oncomine Clinical Research Grant Expands

Based on the last call for proposals in Spring 2024, four projects identified below were recognized at the European Congress of Pathology – including the first projects to be awarded this grant in India and Netherlands:

  • Professor Nikhil Patkar, Tata Memorial Centre, India – “Applicability of Measurable Residual Disease Testing in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia by Next Generation Sequencing.”
    • This research project seeks to explore the detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia by using a highly sensitive immune repertoire assay leveraging the Oncomine platform. The overarching goal is to surpass traditional methods and assess future standards for accurate and reproducible MRD monitoring and risk assessment
  • Dr. Dina Ruano, Leiden University Medical Center, Netherlands – “Exploring Homologous Recombination Deficiency Beyond Ovarian Cancer: Impact of DNA Quality on Outcomes.”
    • This research project seeks to investigate precise genomic instability thresholds for homologous recombination deficiency in breast and prostate cancers using the OCA plus panel, while also exploring the potential of shallow whole-genome sequencing to assess HRD in low-quality samples, ultimately aiming to identify future robust and reliable methods for HRD detection across diverse cancer types.
  • Professor Emilie Lalonde, London Health Sciences Center, Western University, Canada – "Segmental CNV detection in FFPE Specimens with the Oncomine Comprehensive Assay v3: Combined SNV and CNV detection for future diagnostics."
    • This research project aims to develop a novel segmental CNV detection algorithm using Oncomine generated data, with the potential to significantly enhance the diagnostic accuracy for brain tumors and melanocytic lesions by integrating CNV analysis with existing SNV and indel detection, paving the way for broader clinical applications across other cancer types.
  • Professor Cecilia CS Young, Fred Hutch Cancer Center, United States of America – "Advancing Molecular Diagnosis with TCR Convergence and Global Oncology Efforts.”
    • This research project aims to revolutionize cancer care in low- and middle-income countries by expanding their access to precision medicine through validated molecular assays on diverse sample types, including dried blood spots, while also pioneering the use of T-cell sequencing to predict immunotherapy responses, potentially transforming treatment strategies for cancers with complex immune signatures.

The next call for research proposals is now open through September 30, 2024. For more information, please visit www.oncomine.com/grants.
