7th Thomas Ashworth CTC & Liquid Biopsy Symposium
2020 |
On behalf of the organizing committee I invite you to attend the 7th Thomas Ashworth CTC & Liquid Biopsy Symposium 2020 to be held at the Aerial UTS Function Centre, Sydney, Australia. This elevated 7th floor space is a well-designed conference venue located in the vibrant UTS Ultimo precinct close to Central Railway Station. We hope it will inspire both speakers and attendees to engage enthusiastically in the liquid biopsy discussion.
The Symposium will run over 2 days enabling us to cover cutting-edge advances in liquid biopsy translational research and clinical practice. The program will begin at 9am on Thursday 15th October, with registration from 8.30am, and close at 5pm on Friday 16th October. The aim of the Symposium is to enrich our understanding of the clinical application of liquid biopsy to advance precision oncology and improve patient outcome, as well as provide critical insights into the metastatic process. An exciting line up of international speakers who are leaders in the field, along with national speakers from across Australia, will be showcasing their liquid biopsy research. Topics that will be explored include circulating tumour cells, exosomes, methylated ctDNA, assay development, early detection, integration of liquid biopsy into clinical trials and precision oncology, treatment selection and monitoring as well as drug resistance monitoring. This year we will again highlight the "Making an IMPACT" keynote presentation that will showcase research by an Australian researcher that will likely achieve a high clinical impact and be translated into routine practice. Poster presentations are invited from delegates and to encourage students and early career researchers, a Young Investigator Rapid-fire talks (selected from submitted poster abstracts) is integrated into the program. Generous awards will be given for the best young investigator poster and Rapid-fire talks - so please submit an abstract. This is a great opportunity. Who should attend?
The organising committee maintains a philosophy of keeping registration costs as low as possible to encourage attendance and this is only possible due to the generous support of our sponsors. So please ensure to visit the exhibitor tables and check out their latest product offerings. We look forward to seeing you at the Symposium in October.
