Medicine’s next frontier: Detect, decode, decipher

Global Bio India 2023 Auditorium 1 (Level 2), Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi
Medicine is taking giant leaps into uncharted territory. The field of molecular diagnostics is galloping ahead and involves the taking of DNA or RNA, the unique genetic code found in our cells, and examining and analysing the data from specific sequences that can flag the potential occurrence of a disease. Scientists are focusing deeply on understanding various diseases through these new and ingenious diagnostic methods. For instance, in the fight against cancer, early detection is the Holy Grail and the most accepted early detection test for cancer is the HrC Test, a quick, minimally invasive method to evaluate expression levels of rare stem cell markers. In this session, experts in diagnostics focus on the future of the ingenuity that is transforming molecular pathology.
