Liquid biopsy-based biomarker analysis in basic research and clinical applications
February 4, 2025 @ 09:00 – 17:00 CET
The field of liquid biopsy analysis is quickly expanding across several medical and research areas. To support this growth and foster collaboration, we invite you to an interactive seminar focused on the use of liquid biopsies in both basic research and clinical practice.
Event Highlights:
- Short presentations on various liquid biopsy analytes, including DNA, RNA, and proteins.
- Open slots for additional presentations of liquid biopsy projects
Details:
- Cost: Free of charge for confirmed registrants, including lunch and coffee breaks. However, a no-show fee of 1000 SEK will be charged for absentees.
- Sponsors: Wallenberg Centre for Molecular and Translational Medicine, RISE, Västra Götalandsregionen, and SciLifeLab Gothenburg.
Organizing Committee:
- Anders Ståhlberg – Wallenberg Centre for Molecular and Translational Medicine & Sahlgrenska Center for Cancer Research, University of Gothenburg
- Joakim Håkansson – RISE
- Maria Smedh – SciLifeLab and Core Facilities, University of Gothenburg
Join us for an informative day of insights, networking, and knowledge-sharing!
