Inaugural Biospecimen Science and Sample Prep

Personalized medicine is based on the analysis of inter-patient differences at the molecular level through the measurement of biomarkers. Biomarkers are detected in human biospecimens, which represent samples for particular molecular tests. A systematic approach is necessary to ensure the availability and quality of biospecimens, as well as for their appropriate pre-analytical processing both in research and in the clinical laboratory.

Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s Inaugural Biospecimen Science and Sample Prep conference is designed to bring together leading industry, academic and government experts in biospecimen science and molecular diagnostics to discuss major challenges and the latest advances in biospecimen management and quality assurance, and pre-analytical processing, sample preparation and target enrichment.
