Thank you for your participation!

The TATAA Biocenter qPCR symposium ” Developments in Real-time PCR – From Preanalytics to Molecular Diagnostics” was held in the beautiful city of Prague, Czech Republic, June 13-17, 2011.

The symposium consisted of two days of scientific sessions and industrial exhibition and both pre- and post symposium workshops. Besides interesting talks about the new developments in real-time qPCR research, special focus in this symposium was on preanalytics and standardization, as well as molecular diagnostics with a separate track on Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs).


 

Symposium TOPICS:

  • Preanalytics - Sample preparation, extraction and purification
  • Standardization and quality control; MIQE guidelines
  • Experimental design and data analysis
  • Molecular diagnostics of complex diseases, detection and profiling of circulating tumor cells, CTCs
  • High throughput expression profiling
  • Digital PCR and copy number variations
  • Epigenetics and mutation analysis
  • Single cell expression profiling
  • MicroRNAs and non-coding RNAs
