Twist Bioscience

Evaluation of a targeted RNA sequencing workflow for variant calling from FFPE samples in NSCLC. In the oncology field, many research laboratories are moving beyond just interrogating the genome for mutational analysis and seeking more dynamic biomarkers. RNA-based workflows paired with analytical solutions for molecular analysis of tumor-derived samples provide a deeper understanding of tumor biology in the context of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Thank you to the incredible organizers at Biodesign Challenge for an inspiring 2024 summit. Twist Bioscience has been a proud Biodesigned sponsor for years, and this year we were thrilled to present the Outstanding Narrative Award to the Maryland Institute College of Art for ‘Symbiotic Stitches.’ The team worked with mycelium, slime mold, and lichen to create a living quilt with self regenerating properties; focusing on the concept of care as resiliency within their community. Congratulations to the Top 8 finalists, Outstanding Prize winners, and the Grand Prize winner. Twist is honored to support Biodesign Challenge in their efforts to continue the dialogue of biotech, design, and innovation.
