Title: “Making Better Decisions: Challenges in the Discovery and Development of Multiplexed Protein Biomarkers”
Speaker: Prof Stephen R Pennington, Professor of Proteomics, School of Medicine, UCD Conway Institute.
Date: Thursday, 7th April 2016
Time: 4pm
Location: Room E0.01, Science East
Abstract:
"Despite a few decades of proteomics research and the apparent discovery of multiple protein biomarkers to support the diagnosis and treatment of patients, the number of biomarkers that have been developed to the stage of being used routinely is disappointingly low. So, it's clear that whilst there’s huge interest in the development of new multiplexed biomarker panels and major drivers for this to happen, including the pharmaceutical industry’s need to better stratify patients for effective treatment, as yet biomaker development is proving very challenging. This presentation seeks to highlight the key role that the integration of statistical methods throughout the discovery and development pipeline plays in the delivery of protein biomarkers to clinical use."
