Talk Topics this year cover:
- Importance of CDx for Biologics and Small Molecule Drugs – creating therapeutic and market value for patient-centric treatments
- Evolving CDx from animal models: From proof of concept (POC) to generating biomarker candidates; drug dosing; and response tracking
- Informatics for analyzing Big Data sets to develop CDx candidates
- Regulatory issues to be addressed during development
- Technologies to identify markers
