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.

GENE Positioned at the Forefront of Multi-cancer Clinical Utility Research - MRFF Grant names GTG as sole Industry Partner

MELBOURNE, Australia, Sept. 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Genetic Technologies Limited (ASX: GTG; NASDAQ: GENE, “Company”, “GTG”), a global leader in genomics-based tests in health, wellness and serious disease, is pleased to announce that a Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) Genomics Health Futures Mission Grant has been awarded to a group of renowned national and international research and charity organizations. The grant will provide funding for the CASSOWARY Trial: a randomised controlled trial of the clinical utility and cost-effectiveness of a multi-cancer polygenic risk score in general practice. GTG is the National Research Partner for trial which is to be led by Professor Jon Emery.

Highlights:

  • Results from the trial are expected to change the way risk is assessed and reshape the standard of care in general practice for serious disease.
  • The trial results will inform future policy including the 5-year goal in the Australian Cancer Plan of using genomics for risk-stratified cancer screening.
  • Results of this study could lead to a revision of national guidelines and improve risk stratification for four of the most common cancers in Australia; breast, colorectal, prostate, and melanoma.
  • The study will recruit nearly 600 participants from eight general practices across Victoria.
  • As the sole industry partner, GTG will receive funding to cover the supply of test kits and the analysis of the sample returned.

The project titled, “The CASSOWARY (CAncer genomic riSk ScOres in primARY Care) Trial: a randomised controlled trial of the clinical utility and cost-effectiveness of a multi-cancer polygenic risk score in general practice”. This is a multi-institutional, multidisciplinary collaborative initiative with internationally recognised experts. Disciplines include academic, general practice and primary care trials, clinical genetics and genetic counselling, genetic/cancer epidemiology, health economics and modelling, biostatistics, implementation science, genomic test development and commercialisation, consumer investigators with lived experience of cancer and associate investigators with expertise in cancer policy with Cancer Australia. The Cassowary Trial is a collaboration between international investigators from GTG (Industry partner), University of Melbourne and Queen Mary University of London, The Royal Melbourne Hospital, Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, and the Daffodil Centre.

The study will recruit a targeted cohort to create high quality evidence about the clinical utility and cost-effectiveness of using cancer polygenic risk scores, such as geneType multi-Test to tailor cancer screening and possible treatment in general practice.

Professor Jon Emery, the lead investigator of this study team, has an established history in genomics in Australian general practice and has been involved in national and international screening and cancer risk assessment guidelines. This funding is one of several trials that he leads, “We look forward to extending our work in the space of polygenic risk score implementation in general practice. Over the years, our team has created a framework for risk-assessment implementation in clinical practice, and with each subsequent study we are building our evidence to support a structured, real-world implementation strategy.”

This multi-year utility trial will focus on the implementation of four of geneType’s multi-Test integrated polygenic risk scores: breast, colorectal, prostate, and melanoma. The trial will assess patient and provider behaviour, and assess the economic impact of the resulting behaviour.

GTG’s Director of Scientific Affairs, Erika Spaeth, a co-investigator of the study said, “We are proud of our academic partnerships and honoured to be a part of the growing body of evidence showing the utility of polygenic risk in clinical care. We look forward to the implementation evidence outcomes that will result from this utility study.”

GTG has a strong history of research partnerships with academic institutions, including the University of Melbourne. The company is committed to its collaborative initiatives that support the evolution of predictive population healthcare. GTG’s CEO, Simon Morriss noted, “This is an important step forward for preventive precision medicine. The results from the Cassowary Trial have the ability to support the clinical utility of geneType multi-Test and even more importantly provide compelling evidence for its’ inclusion into National Guidelines and standard of care. The results from this study will be a major leap forward for geneType.”
