The Molecular Diagnostics conference is the premier event for the industry. It encompasses the many facets of this rapidly changing area, including the progression of point-of-care devices, cancer diagnostics for molecular characterization and prognosis, and case studies in companion diagnostics to showcase the new standard-of-care. The area of personalized medicine is exploding, and will have a great impact on the way that drugs are developed, the types of diagnostic tests being offered, and the places that diagnostics will be offered. Take part in this important event to learn what leaders in the field are doing, and how the industry is moving forward to commercialize many first in class products.

Who should attend: Directors of R & D, Senior Managers, Managers, Laboratory Directors, Senior Scientists, and Senior Researchers for Diagnostic, Biotech and Pharmaceutical Businesses.

Technical Topics to be Covered Include:

• Case studies in companion diagnostics 

• Future of point-of-care diagnostics

• Cancer diagnostics

• Decentralizing diagnostics

• Consumer-driven trends

• Meeting standard-of-care guidelines 

• Challenges of clinical implementation
