Molecular Diagnostics Virtual Event Series 2018

This event is now apart of the Genetics Week Virtual Event Series. 

Our  3rd Annual Event in the Molecular Diagnostics Virtual Event Series is now available On Demand! The Molecular Diagnostics Event is the premiere venue for scientists, technologists, and professionals to discuss and present the newest advances in molecular diagnostics testing. 

Learn from keynote speaker and renown expert Dr. Eunice Lee, Branch Chief of Molecular Pathology and Cytology Branch with the FDA, and other experts like Dr. Steven Lee of University of California, Berkeley; Dr. Judd Moul from Duke University Medical Center; and Dr. Jason Kralj from NIST. Enjoy the complementary conference from your desk with no need for travel, and explore the virtual exhibit hall to learn about the latest technologies and techniques for your lab.

Topics in the 2018 event included:

  • Regulatory Changes
  • Point of Care
  • Diagnostic Testing
  • Emerging Trends:
    • Data sharing and some of the emerging trends
    • Forensic molecular biology
    • Microfluidic devices for handling cells and biomolecules

Continuing Education
