Genetic solutions in translational research - Roadshow
29 May–2 June, 2017
Genetic information and translational research is rapidly transforming the future of healthcare by enabling accurate and affordable diagnosis and prognosis, targeted treatments, and solutions monitoring. We are committed to providing reliable and easy-to-use solutions, service, and support to help meet the demanding needs of this research area.
Join us for "Genetic Solutions in Translational Research, a half-day seminar, which includes morning tea, lunch, and a trade display. The seminar will give you the opportunity to join peers on a national scientific tour to discuss breakthroughs, best practices, and trends in genetic solutions for translational research.
Learn about these featured genetic applications:
• Microarray analysis: highlighting clinical arrays such as CytoScan andintroducing the Precision Medicine Research Array
• Targeted sequencing for research and beyond: pioneering targeted next-generation sequencing with Ion Torrent™ and Ion AmpliSeq™ targeted panels
• Immuno-oncology: comprehensive measurement of expression of genesinvolved in tumor-immune interactions, and relevant to immune responsebiomarker research
