HotTopics: Cell free DNA
Another BioSB Hot Topics session is on the horizon hosting the highly interesting topic “Cell Free DNA”. Cell-free DNA is all non-encapsulated DNA in bio-liquid such as plasma and urine, which provides exciting diagnostic opportunities for cancer detection as well as non-invasive prenatal tests for a fetal defect. In the upcoming BioSB symposium, we invited a great line-up of speakers to discuss a variety of aspects of cell-free DNA from computational to clinical! You will have a chance to discuss with top researchers in the field and peek further into the future of cell-free DNA research.
Time:
Monday 21st of November 2022
Location:
A415, MF Building, Vrije Universiteit
Boechorststraat 7, 1081 BT, Amsterdam
