Winston Patrick Kuo, President, Predicine Holdings Ltd, United States of America
This presentation will discuss the novelty and impact of a membrane protein targeting tumour metabolism along with cancer-specific biomarkers in both circulating and specific sub-populations of extracellular vesicles in most solid tumours (colon, gastric, breast, lung, prostate, ovarian and melanoma) for purposes of screening, diagnostics and monitoring therapeutic treatments. | 15:10 | mRNA Detection in Extracellular Vesicles
Clark Chen, Co-Director, University of California-San Diego, United States of America
The talk will focus on the detection of glioblastoma specific mutations through the analysis of RNAs isolated from sera/cerebrospinal fluid EVs of glioblastoma patients. Implications pertaining to diagnostic development as well as pending challenges in clinical translation will also be discussed. | 15:45 | Circulating Nucleic Acids: Role in Hematological Malignancies
