The 2016 Biotexcel conference \u2018Circulating Biomarkers\u2019 will take place at the University of Abertay, Dundee, UK, on 12\u201313 October, 2016. This is the third such annual meeting and they have fast become one of the highlights of the year for workers in this field.
Circulating biomarkers, such as the various forms of circulating DNA, RNA, tumour cells and exosomes, have proved useful for diagnostics and the monitoring of treatment. Previous meetings have seen presentations about the discovery of circulating biomarkers as well as subsequent validation and blood-biopsy test development. This year, the focus is expanding to include other kinds of least-invasive and non-invasive biomarkers. With its unique format, delegates include participants from science, industry, medicine and engineering and dedicated networking sessions allow broad collaborations between the different disciplines to facilitate the development of new diagnostics.
The meeting includes presentations from leaders of their fields from the UK, Germany and the USA, including
Prof. David Cameron, Edinburgh, UK
Prof. Markus Metzler, Germany
Prof. Craig Beam, USA, and others)
Prof Sue Burchill, Leeds, UK
Prof Colin Palmer, Ninewells Hospital, Dundee, UK
Prof Angie Cox, Sheffield, UK
Dr Clare Vesely, UCL Cancer Institute, London, UK
