Biomarkers Discovery & Clinical Applications of Proteomics:
Past, Present and Future issues

The infatuation for differential proteomic studies is generating an increasing number of protein and peptide biomarkers of pathologies, which will bring us to what we like to foresee as the post-proteomic area . This should lead to the widening of routine proteomics techniques in clinical laboratories, in particular for early diagnosis and prognosis. We feel that future developments will lead to automated high throughput clinical analysis systems, possibly including protein micro-array systems and simplified MS instrumentation and reliable software for safe detection and accurate quantification purposes.
These issues will be discussed amongst a panel of expert clinicians or analytical biologists using the instruments, researchers discovering the bio-markers, developers of innovative tools and instruments, as well as representatives of companies willing to commercialise automated robots.

This roundtable will take place on Wednesday, December 8, between 12:00 and 12:45.
