Presented by the Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center and Cambridge Healthtech Institute and held at the University of California, Irvine Student Center
A number of breakthrough technologies are being incorporated into novel diagnostics to detect a range of molecular and protein biomarkers. The diagnostic methods applied will include PCR, microarrays, sequencing, proteomics, methylation, and mutation detection. This meeting will highlight the next generation of diagnostic platforms that encompass the latest trends in microfluidics, point-of-care technologies, in vivo sensing, and consumer-driven products. A panel of experts will focus on translation to the medical community and the key to success in implementation.
Topics include:
- Microfluidic Technology and Business Trends
- Point-of-Care Diagnostics
- Nanotechnology Advances
- Innovation in Microfluidics
- In vivo Diagnostic Imaging
- Recent Approvals of Companion Diagnostics

Guidelines for Commercial Launch of Novel Diagnostics
This short course is focused on development of molecular diagnostics as they make their way from identification of a medical need through to commercial launch. The course will emphasize identification of critical hurdles that when addressed early, can materially accelerate progress. Vital areas to be addressed include disease management, validation, reimbursement strategies including provider engagement, regulatory pathway decisions and education of the medical community. Examples and case studies of diagnostic companies will be shared to illustrate a real world roadmap including:
- Disease Management
- Assay Validation
- Regulatory Pathways and Considerations
- Reimbursement
- Acceptance and Adoption
