4th Liquid Biopsy Event: Liquid biopsy-based biomarker analysis in basic research and clinical applications
January 26 @ 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.
Join us for an informative day of insights, networking, and knowledge-sharing!
Event Highlights
- Short presentations on various liquid biopsy analytes, including circulating cells, DNA, RNA, proteins and metabolites.
- Open slots for additional presentations of liquid biopsy projects
Practical Details
- The event is free of charge for confirmed registrants, including lunch and coffee breaks. However, a no-show fee of 1000 SEK will be charged for absentees.
- There are limited spots available, allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Once these spots are filled, a waiting list will be implemented.
- If you would like to be considered for giving a research talk, please send a tentative title and short abstract to maria.smedh@gu.se.
