Webinar: Driving Successful Therapeutic and Diagnostic Development: Effective Practices for Integrating Biomarkers, Biospecimens, and Science from Concept through Clinic to Cloud

2023-07-07T10:42:48-04:00Events|

In the rapidly evolving world of precision medicine, the successful integration of high-quality biospecimens and well-defined biomarkers is a fundamental aspect. Together with robust scientific methodologies and validation procedures, they drive discovery, clinical development, and the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven diagnostics.

This webinar delves into the practical application of biospecimens in critical areas like neurodegeneration, immuno-oncology, and oncology. It outlines the development of assays for clinical application, the creation of multiplexed Immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays, and the use of sequenced biospecimens in the development and diagnosis of targeted therapies.

Key topics will also highlight the value of Tissue Microarrays (TMAs), the advantage of accessing diverse disease indications, the necessity for substantial tissue cohorts for clinical trial assay validation, and the role of tissue images (Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E), IHC) and related sample data (Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)) in shaping AI-based diagnostics.
