About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

bioAffinity Technologies Announces Targeted Actions to Cut $4 Million in Costs and Drive CyPath® Lung Sales Growth

  • Proactive steps reinforce bioAffinity Technologies’ laser focus on accelerating CyPath® Lung sales growth in strategic national markets
  • Decreases labor and overhead costs, including 38% workforce reduction in non-CyPath® Lung personnel at Company’s subsidiary laboratory

bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIAF; BIAFW), a biotechnology company focused on the need for noninvasive tests for the detection of early-stage lung cancer and other lung diseases, today announced targeted strategic actions to improve financial performance and accelerate the commercial growth of CyPath® Lung, the Company’s noninvasive test for early-stage lung cancer. The Company expects these measures to deliver approximately $4 million in annual cost savings at its subsidiary Precision Pathology Laboratory Services (PPLS), while increasing resources to expand CyPath® Lung sales in high-potential national markets.

“Following our acquisition of PPLS, we embarked on a deliberate and strategic review as part of our commitment to optimizing operations and accelerating CyPath® Lung sales. We believe our changes at PPLS support and enhance bioAffinity’s commercial strategy to fast-track market expansion and sales of CyPath® Lung while continuing to provide PPLS clients with exceptional anatomical pathology services as it has done for more than 25 years,” bioAffinity President and CEO Maria Zannes said. “We will continue to rely on the combined innovation and expertise of both bioAffinity and PPLS employees to achieve our planned 2025 milestones, including starting enrollment for the FDA pivotal trial for CyPath® Lung and development of additional noninvasive diagnostics, including tests for COPD and asthma.”

Specifically, bioAffinity Technologies expects to achieve the majority of the $4 million in cost savings on an annual run rate through:

  • Labor cost reductions, including an approximately 38% workforce reduction at PPLS;
  • Operational efficiency enhancements, such as reduced direct costs for purchased services and supplies; and,
  • A focus on high-margin services by discontinuing certain pathology services with suboptimal profit margins.

With year-over-year sales growth, CyPath® Lung remains the focal point of bioAffinity’s commercial strategy. “Although these actions are expected to result in a decrease in revenue, they are also expected to improve profitability at our PPLS subsidiary by focusing on CyPath® Lung and other high-value service lines,” bioAffinity Chief Financial Officer Michael Edwards said.

“Our strategic adjustments today enhance our readiness to serve the market for noninvasive lung cancer detection in both civilian and military healthcare systems, and we continue to see increasing sales as more and more physicians incorporate CyPath® Lung into their protocol for patients at high risk for lung cancer,” Maria Zannes, President and Chief Executive Officer, said. “With CyPath® Lung now available for purchase through the Federal Supply Schedule, we intend to launch a focused government marketing program next quarter to introduce the test to Veterans Administration and Department of Defense medical centers.”

About CyPath® Lung

CyPath® Lung uses proprietary advanced flow cytometry and artificial intelligence (AI) to identify cell populations in patient sputum that indicate malignancy. Automated data analysis helps determine if cancer is present or if the patient is cancer-free. CyPath® Lung incorporates a fluorescent porphyrin that is preferentially taken up by cancer and cancer-related cells. Clinical study results demonstrated that CyPath® Lung had 92% sensitivity, 87% specificity and 88% accuracy in detecting lung cancer in patients at high risk for the disease who had small lung nodules less than 20 millimeters. Diagnosing and treating early-stage lung cancer can improve outcomes and increase patient survival. For more information, visit www.cypathlung.com.
