Welcome Message
Bio-Rad's droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) has revolutionized nucleic acid quantitation with unrivalled precision, reproducibility, absolute target counts and improved sensitivity. It pushes research and diagnostic boundaries, allowing Scientists to answer questions that were unattainable through existing technologies.
Following the outstanding success of the 1st Symposium in Bangkok in October 2016, researchers, users and clinicians will again come together to report out on the latest advances and explore where this remarkable technology is going.
The applications of ddPCR to date are diverse. Starting from the use of ddPCR in liquid biopsy to aid clinical decision-making in the treatment of cancers to monitoring viral load in infected patients, facilitating diseases biomarkers discoveries and applied testing such as quantitation of residual host cell DNA in biologics, ddPCR has certainly emerged as a breakthrough technology. With droplets expanding into Single Cell Analysis and Food Pathogen Detection, the 2nd Symposium promises to have an even wider range of topics.
On behalf of the organizing committee, we are pleased to invite you to attend the 2nd Asia Pacific ddPCR symposium that will be held in Seoul on 5th September 2017. At this symposium, key opinions leaders will gather again to share the use of ddPCR in their work; spanning across liquid biopsy, clinical diagnostics, applied testing and frontier research. There will be keynote lectures, presentations on various ddPCR applications and an opportunity to learn about some of the latest advances in droplet based chemistry.
We promise this will be an exciting event and we look forward to having you with us.
Sincerely,
The Organisers & Hosts of the
2nd Asia Pacific Droplet Digital PCR Symposium 2017
About
The Symposium
The 2nd Asia Pacific Droplet Digital PCR Symposium is a full day event held on the 5th of September 2017 at Le Méridien Seoul. We have gathered a distinguished panel of speakers from across the globe to share about their exciting work using Droplet Digital™ PCR. At the same time, more than 200 scientific participants will get to expand on their knowledge of the Droplet Digital™ PCR technology and its applications. This event also provides an excellent opportunity for bright minds to exchange ideas and interact with various key opinion leaders.
The key topics covered in this symposium include:
• Cracking Lung Cancer through Liquid Biopsy
• Cancer Research
• Applied Testing
• Frontier Research
