Overview
This conference brings together technology development and applications of: - Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)
- Single Cell Analysis (SCA)
- Single Molecule Analysis (SMA)
- Mass Spectrometry
Technology
development in these fields is occurring in parallel with advances in
Lab-on-a-Chip/Microfluidics and the broader push in diagnostics
development, and in this vein this conference is co-located and
concurrent with the following conferences at the same venue and at
the same time: 1. Lab-on-a-Chip and Microfluidics: Emerging Themes, Technologies and Applications 2. Lab-on-a-Chip and Microfluidics: Techologies and Commercialization 3. Point-of-Care Diagnostics & Global Health World Congress 2016 4.
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), Single-Cell Analysis (SCA), Single
Molecule Analysis (SMA) & Mass Spectrometry: Research to Diagnostics
2016It
has become increasingly apparent that the differences between cells in
the same population can be significant, and there is therefore a need
for improved methods to capture and analyze individual cells such as
circulating tumor cells (CTCs). The
development of technologies for single cell analysis (SCA) is driving
this field forward via basic research on isolated individual
cells, the development of biomarker assays, and diagnostics development. We
also explore at this conference the translation of next-generation
sequencing (NGS) from research to deployment in the clinical-setting for
oncology, genetic testing, as well as infectious disease testing. As
NGS permeates the cancer biomarker and genetic testing realms and cost
of NGS declines, there is the opportunity and hope to deploy NGS as a
means to personalize diagnostics and therapeutics -- this is one of the
themes explored in the NGS section of this conference. This
conference will also present the latest technologies/products in flow
cytometry, FISH, immunoma
