  CHI's MOLECULAR ANALYSIS FOR RESEARCH AND DIAGNOSTICS  
  September 21, 2001

Biotechnology

 
     
  Cambridge Healthtech Institute, Hilton San Diego Resort
February 13-14, 2002


The growing momentum of genomics and molecular analysis has enormous promise for numerous drug research applications, as well as for diagnostics. Gene and protein-based assays can provide critical information, but they also raise important issues that need to be addressed if their full potential is to be realized. Analysis based on gene expression profiles may be of particular importance for improved understanding and diagnosis of disorders with the complexity of cancer. Molecular diagnostics, however, are generally viewed as expensive and labor intensive, which means that advances to improve automation, throughput, scalability and reliability are critical. Leading researchers will be covering advances, experiences and challenges relevant for each of these issues in detail, so plan to participate and gain useful new insights.
