The Biomarker Conference agenda was designed to discuss and work on emerging pathways and breakthroughs in biomarker discovery and successful validation in tandem with the regulatory guidelines. The key note address on day one saw presentations by Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, Chief, Cancer Biomarkers, NCI/NIH and Dr. Abraham Tzou, Medical Officer, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, FDA. Organizations such as Genpro, Cancer Genetics, Celerion, Centogene, BioAgilytix, Nanomedical Diagnostics, ArcherDX, Personal Genome Diagnostics, Abcam, Excelra, MedGenome, ResearcDx, KCAS, DxTerity, MicroConstants and Rosetta Genomics showcased and talked about their latest products and solutions.
Dr. Platero, Sr. Director of Translational Research Oncology at Janssen Research & Development, one of the key speakers at the conference, speaking about biomarkers and their interesting aspects during his presentation said, "It is the ability to straddle the bench and clinic, developing a hypothesis in the laboratory and applying them in clinical trials and also developing the hypothesis in the clinical trial and going back to the lab. This way we are helping a lot of patients."
