 Confused about CAR T-cells or checkpoint inhibitors? Want the latest on cancer prevention and diagnosis? As immunotherapy takes oncology by storm and technology continues to drive advances in medicine, keep up by joining lab routes for its fourth annual Virtual Cancer Research and Oncology conference this October. The meeting will cover everything from cancer mechanics and prevention to detection and novel therapies, allowing you to bone up on the latest discoveries and trends. Fred Kramer of Rutgers University will discuss advanced molecular diagnostics. He'll explain how real-time multiplex PCR is poised to become the fastest and cheapest way to monitor cancer from liquid biopsies. The technique allows for selective amplification of mutated DNA fragments within tumors, allowing doctors to properly diagnose and tailor treatment. Louise Perkins, the chief science officer of the Melanoma Research Alliance, will cover how scientists are learning to use emerging immunotherapy and precision medicine techniques to battle one of the most common cancers in America. Stephen Hughes, director of the North Wales and Northwest Urological Research Center, will talk about the role of cytokines and inflammation in kidney and bladder cancer. Finally, pioneering chemist and physicist Jacinto Scoles will discuss his latest forays into biomedical nanoscience. Famous for discoveries about van der Waals' forces and molecular beams, Scoles is now working on funneling that expertise into cancer diagnostics. With collaborators, he recently patented a way to count circulating tumor cells from picoliter-sized drops of blood. Other highlights include talks on targeted therapies for advanced cancers, novel systems for monitoring diseases and predicting outcomes, and many symposiums on prostate, breast, and brain cancers, as well as the KRAS initiative. Free continuing education credits will be available. Rarely does a field move so quickly to advance scientific understanding and treatment for patients. In this exciting time, don't miss the opportunity to learn more and network with leading scientists from around the world. Attend Labroot's Virtual Cancer Research and Oncology Conference this October 5th and 6th.
