With increasing applications in research to provide sensitive quantitative measurements of gene expression, including SNP genotyping, mutation detection and quantification, and gene dosage studies, quantitative polymerase chain reaction technology (qPCR) could soon be the standard for determining the genetic changes in response to a pharmacological agent.
Topic Overview
- Biomarkers clinic
- Increasing through-put
- Solid Phase Gene Expression
- Data Management
- Whole Genome Expression Profiling
Why should you attend this event?
With equipment improving all the time to offer high assay throughput and shorter assay times there has never been a better time to review existing technology, and how it can be applied to research & development in your organisation.
Unique in the market place, the inaugural SMi Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) & Transcriptional Profiling conference brings together industry leaders to discuss opportunities, advances in technology and time saving strategies. The agenda is case study led, allowing delegates to benchmark their own research against that of their peers.
The qPCR and Transcriptional Profiling event is exclusively designed for the senior level practitioners from the world’s leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.This exclusive event consists of world-class keynote addresses, panel discussions and case-study sessions on all aspects of qPCR and Transcriptional Profiling, Biostatistics, increasing through-put, microarrays, microRNA expression and an exclusive Biomarkers Clinic!
Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to increase your throughput, decrease costs and time and make your qPCR really work for you. Can your company afford not to attend SMi’s qPCR 2009 event?
