Yorba Linda, CA (PRWEB) January 17, 2018
The translation of basic scientific research to clinical application in the hospital or clinic setting is vital for advancing the quality of patient care. This is particularly true in the clinical laboratory setting, where physicians, scientists, and laboratorians evaluate new biomarkers for potential clinical use.
The numerous steps taken to evaluate the analytical and clinical performance of a novel biomarker are critical to this process before a test can be offered and ordered by health care providers. These steps ensure the test results are accurate and reproducible when performed by laboratory technologists and confirm that results can be used to improve disease diagnostics or prognostics.
In this webinar, which is sponsored by sphingotec GmbH, participants will gain a better understanding of what factors are important to consider when deciding which novel biomarker to evaluate for clinical use. They will learn the importance and challenges of clinical validations of assays using novel biomarkers.
The speakers will describe the process a major academic medical center takes to critically evaluate novel biomarkers for various clinical applications and provide examples of such biomarkers that are either under evaluation or have been recently completed. The presenters sphingotec selected for this webinar include:
Allan Jaffe, M.D., chair of the Division of Clinical Core Laboratory Services in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at Mayo Clinic
Jeff Meeusen, Ph.D., co-director of Cardiovascular Laboratory Medicine at Mayo Clinic
Leslie Donato, Ph.D., co-director of both Cardiovascular Laboratory Medicine and the Hospital Clinical Laboratory and Point-of-Care Testing at Mayo Clinic
LabRoots will host the webinar January 23, 2018, at 12 p.m. PST, 2 p.m. CST, and 3 p.m. EST. To read more about this event, learn of the continuing education credits that will be offered, or to register for free, click here.
