How Clinical Biobanks Support Precision Medicine: From Standardized Preprocessing of Liquid Biopsies to Treatment Guidance

Jens Habermann, , University of Lübeck

CTCs and Exosomes harbor an enormous potential for precision medicine. However, clinical implementation requires standardization. This is in contrast to current praxis, which is still hampered by major inter-study heterogeneity. This talk will address (i) current challenges and solutions for standardized CTC / Exosome assessment and (ii) how clinical biobanks can support CTC / Exosome research for precision medicine, e.g. in colorectal cancer.
