Dear Colleague,

GTC would like to invite you to attend our Biomarker Europe Summit 2013 on October 9th-10th in Berlin, Germany. The summit will address the latest developments in the biomarker arena from discovery to translation to commercialization. Presentations span across multiple disciplines and cover topics such as discovery and validation strategies, the challenges of clinical translation, novel technologies including next-generation sequencing, regulatory and reimbursement issues and companion diagnostics. Scientific data, case studies and discussions will be facilitated by key representatives from pharma, biotech, academia and the public sector.

The summit will consist of two co-located conferences that will focus on different stages of biomarker development. Below is an outline with the sessions for the two conferences:
