The Biomarker Summit 2014, to be held on March 19-21, 2014 in San Diego, CA is a meeting place for leaders in the field to discuss the issues and challenges scientists and researchers face in all aspects of the biomarker and diagnostic development process from discovery to translation to commercialization. A wide variety of important topics will be covered including biomarker identification and validation strategies, bioinformatics and systems biology approaches to personalized medicine, big data management, regulatory and reimbursement trends, companion diagnostics development, and, finally, funding and investment opportunities. Through scientific presentations, case studies and panel discussions, these areas will be addressed in an intimate and highly interactive environment with perspectives from industry, academia and the public sector.
Assembling leading scientists, researchers, decision-makers and other players across the industry spectrum, the Summit provides a unique opportunity to gain the latest biomarker developments in three major therapeutic areas, formally organized in the following tracks and sessions:
