This conference focuses on the various classes of circulating biomarkers:
-
Extracellular Vesicles (EVs)
-
Circulating Cell-Free DNA (cfDNA)
-
Circulating Tumour Cells (CTCs)
-
Circulating RNAs and Oncoproteins
The goal is a deep dive from a scientific perspective providing details of technologies, tools and biological investigations into these biomarker classes and frame into the big picture of how each of these classes provide insight onto different biological processes.
Registered delegates will have full access to the co-located and concurrent conference tracks to mix-and-match presentations and maximize networking:
-
Lab-on-a-Chip and Microfluidics Europe 2025
-
Circulating Biomarkers Europe 2025
There are ample opportunities for networking, partnering and business development and this ensures a very cost-effective conference trip. The Exhibit Hall is Co-Located with the Conference Tracks for Excellent Networking and Engagement with the Exhibitors/Conference Sponsors.
Agenda Topics Covered at the Conference Include:
-
