4th Annual Infectious Disease and Molecular Diagnostics Conference MarketsandMarkets

23rd - 24th March 2023

ILEC Conference Centre & Ibis London Earls Court, London

It has been evident that for the past few decades there have been advances in Diagnostic technologies which have opened doors for early diagnosis & prevention.
MarketsandMarakets is proud to present to you the 4th Annual MarketsandMarkets Infectious Diseases and Molecular Diagnostics, scheduled to be on 23rd – 24th March 2023, in London. The event is created and shaped with presentations on the topics like Future Molecular Diagnostics and New Diagnostic Technologies, how the timely recognition of various viral diseases would prevent the spread to a great extent by use of Advanced Diagnostic Technologies, advances in lab-on-a-chip technologies, and many more.

Witness the presence of some of the great minds in the fields of Medical, Pharmaceutical, Biopharmaceutical and many other solution providers in the space, all under a single roof. The event will also have interactive breakout sessions with 10+hours of dedicated networking.
