3.11.2021 00:03:14 CET | Business Wire | Press release
Personalis, Inc. (Nasdaq: PSNL), a leader in advanced genomics for cancer, today announced the latest expansion of the Personalis NeXT Platform® adding several new features that are key to the understanding of the interactions between the tumor and the immune system and how they may influence a cancer patient’s response to therapy.
The new and improved features include:
- InfiltrateID™, a sophisticated analytics module that leverages the augmented gene expression data from the NeXT Transcriptome™ to detect the presence of eight immune cell populations within a tumor sample
- RepertoireID™ now incorporates the characterization of the B-cell receptor repertoire, including the computing of isotype makeup, as a complement to the previously released T-cell receptor repertoire feature
- SHERPA™, further enhancing the performance of Personalis’ leading pan-allelic neoantigen prediction algorithm recently published in the Immunopeptidomics Special Issue of the journal Molecular & Cellular Proteomics
Personalis CMO and SVP of R&D, Richard Chen, MD, said, “With the ability to identify immune cell populations in the tumor, characterize the B-cell and T-cell receptor repertoires, and better predict neoantigens, we are further expanding the NeXT Platform for additional emerging oncology biomarkers. As we recently demonstrated with our NEOPS biomarker publication, combining both tumor and immune features into a composite biomarker can lead to better stratification of patient response to cancer therapy. These new NeXT Platform features open up opportunities to further enhance composite biomarkers like NEOPS.”
These advanced machine learning and algorithmic tools paired with the unique assay design of the NeXT Platform, further Personalis’ goal of providing the most comprehensive genomic tumor profiling platform available. The NeXT Platform consolidates multiple biomarker assays into one, enabling a seamless path from translational research to companion diagnostics development.

Echodyne Opens New Manufacturing Facility to Meet Surging Global Demand for Advanced MESA® Radar9.7.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
New Washington State facility provides capacity to manufacture more than 30,000 radars annually, strengthening the U.S. defense industrial base As governments around the world accelerate investment in counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) and short-range air defense, Echodyne today announced the opening of a new advanced radar manufacturing facility in Washington State, significantly expanding its manufacturing capacity to meet rapidly growing demand from U.S. and allied customers. With millions of drones manufactured and used by both sides in the Russian War in Ukraine, the need for enhanced safety for defense, national security, and critical infrastructure assets grows with every successful strike and interception. The low cost and high utility of drones dramatically alters the need for safety and security sensors. And as the low altitude economy takes off, hundreds of thousands of drones will perform a range of life-saving and commercial missions, requiring a sensor infrastructu
Orca Security Report: 99.9% of Fixable AI Vulnerabilities Remain Unpatched as AI Moves Into Production9.7.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
Analysis of more than 1,200 production cloud environments provides a first-hand view into how organizations are embedding AI into business-critical workflows, exposing new security risks that traditional controls weren't built to address. Orca Security, a leader in cloud and AI security, today released its 2026 State of AI Security Report, offering a first-hand view into how AI is being deployed across more than 1,200 production cloud environments. The findings show AI is no longer limited to isolated pilots or developer experiments. Organizations are embedding AI into production applications, cloud services, and autonomous workflows faster than security programs can adapt. More than half (56%) of organizations have already deployed AI agents into production, while 51% use AI to build custom applications. At the same time, Orca found that 81% of organizations run vulnerable AI packages, and 99.9% of fixable AI vulnerabilities remain unpatched, highlighting how quickly AI has become ope
