Purpose of the conference
Researchers will gather on St. Patrick’s Day in Boston Massachusetts for the 10th Annual MicroRNA as Biomarkers and Diagnostics Conference organised by Cambridge Healthtech Institute. The conference will focus on recent research showing the potential of microRNAs as “non-invasive biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of disease, monitoring of treatment, and patient stratification, with exosome-derived microRNAs of particular interest”. The conference “will cover the latest developments in the use of microRNA in the early detection of disease for more effective treatment, monitoring tumour growth and disease progression, issues associated with microRNA measurement, and the potential for personalized medicine based on microRNA profile.” Delegates will have the opportunity to hear, among others, the following invited speakers:
