DIAGNOSTICS
Diagnostic devices, technologies and approaches are a vital part of the drug development cycle, with different versions being used at all stages from discovery, through development to clinical trials. This year, a dedicated Companion Diagnostics track will explore advances in matching patients to therapeutics, examining personalised medicine, biomarker analysis and in vivo diagnostic techniques. Elsewhere on the agenda speakers will present on diagnostic devices including wearables in clinical trials, the characterisation of early stage therapeutic proteins, and the implementation of molecular diagnostics for pharmacogenomics.
