Biomarkers & Bioinformatics in Clinical Trials and Clinical Studies

Dear CCBIO members, CCBIO associates, and researchers focusing on biomarker detection through use of patient material and advanced bioinformatics tools. We have the pleasure of inviting you to: Biomarkers & Bioinformatics in Clinical Trials and Clinical Studies Symposium, June 18th-19th 2017 at Solstrand Hotel.

Hovedinnhold

We have brought together speakers with an in-depth knowledge and experience within essential areas of biomarker identification, sharing how they work with clinical samples and bioinformatics in the search for specific biomarkers for a disease or treatment response.

There will also be ample time for interaction between the participants during this meeting. The symposium is open for all, so please feel free to circulate this invitation.

Participants, particularly PhD and MSc students, are encouraged to bring a poster on their work. No abstract required.
