6th Annual MarketsandMarkets

Biomarker and Companion Diagnostics Virtual Conference (EST TIME ZONE)

12th - 14th October 2021

Leveraging next gen technologies beyond conventional biomarker drug discovery

The emergence of the need for safety and efficacy of a drug subjected to individual patients has made companion diagnostics one of the most sought after topics in the field of In-Vitro Diagnostics. The surge of investment in companion diagnostics has brought forward issues regarding regulations and their intricacies and boosted new trends in immuno-oncology, immuno-therapies, data interpretation and unconventional design of clinical trials.

The 6th Annual MarketsandMarkets Biomarker and Companion Diagnostics Virtual Conference scheduled to be held from 12th - 15th October 2021 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 area. The keynote presentations would also help the attendees understand the issues related to the clinical translation of biomarkers.
