The 5th Annual Biomarker and Companion Diagnostics Conference scheduled to be held on 6th - 7th February 2020 in San Diego, CA would address the gaps between early-stage biomarker development and the commercialization stage of biomarkers. This conference would also highlight case studies on leveraging emerging technologies in Digital Biomarkers, Precision Medicine and Big Data. Regarding the commercialization of biomarkers, leading industry and academic experts would share their case studies focusing on advancements in the companion diagnostics areas. The keynote presentations would also help the attendees understand the issues related to clinical translation of biomarkers.

30+ experts from academia and industry will be presenting their current work in Biomarkers, Latest updates on regulatory guidelines and approvals, Cancer biomarker validation for clinical application, Biomarkers and Personalized Medicine, Impact of Big data in translational biomarker research and Future of Companion Diagnostics

Opportunity to develop long-lasting business relationships and networking opportunities with researchers, scientists, clinicians, academicians and professionals from Pharmaceutical companies, Bio-pharma companies, Universities, and Research institutes.

Over 20 presentations, round-tables, and panel discussions focused on the key opportunities and challenges in biomarker research, from precision medicine and companion diagnostics through to digital biomarkers and clinical trials.

This two-day event will invite 200+ biomarker discovery professionals, 30+ expert speakers and 15+ solution/technology providers to a unique platform to deliver niche buyer-seller ecosystem in the biomarker Industry.
