You might need clarity on exactly how NGS can be applied for biomarker discovery, patient stratification or diagnostics. Or maybe an opportunity to network with oncology experts to crack the bioinformatics problems you currently face in data management and analysis. 

Whatever your motivations, NGS for Cancer Drug Development is the only North American meeting this year that can truly deliver the answers. 

  • The FDA outlines the practical utility of RNA-Seq when compared to microarray technology for maximum accuracy of gene expression measurement in tumor samples 
  • Merck shows how big pharma are integrating NGS at the earliest stage in clinical trial design and how you can follow suit to serve your specific research aims
  • Cancer Institute of New Jersey shows off gold standard bioinformatics techniques for effective data analysis and interpretation for maximum performance in the clinic 
  • AstraZeneca presents the answers to optimizing biomarker discovery and target validation through streamlined data application and integration techniques  
  • Millennium explores the promise of NGS in cancer drug development for better patient selection and treatment decisions in the path towards personalized medicine 
  • Dana-Farber Cancer Institute provides case studies for variant and mutation detection from screening of NGS data
