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 2016


It 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
