What Past Delegates Said About the Event:


"This was a very good conference that brought together scientist and managers from industry and academia, presenting the progress, chances and challenges in the biomarker arena. I liked in particular the size of the conference which was very good for networking."
 - Khusru Asadullah, Vice President, Head of Global Biomarker, Bayer Pharma AG

“I found that participation at this conference was highly rewarding. Its size was ideal for networking, and the program was a perfect mix of disease areas and novel technologies.”
 - Mark Broenstrup Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbH, R&D Diabetes Division, Biomarker&Diagnostics

“The smaller size of these meetings relative to the mega-conferences we often attend is a welcome change! There were many opportunities to meet and talk with other attendees one-on-one, and to my mind, that is one of the great benefits of attending a meeting. The quality of the presentations was universally high."
 - Mark Duncan, Professor of Medicine, School of Medicine, Endocrinology, Metabolism, and Diabetes, University of Colorado

“A very informative 2 day conference on Biomarkers featuring a good selection of speakers and topics – the best biomarker meeting I’ve attended in a while. The size of the conference was great for networking. I made a lot of good contacts there and learned a lot from the discussions I had with other attendees. The location was great as well.”
 - Paul Whittaker, PhD, Director, Respiratory Diseases Area, Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research

"The GTCbio conference put me in touch with a focused group of researchers from all walks interested in advancing the same science. I've never connected with so many potential research partners in such a short time."
 - Timothy R. Church, Ph.D., Professor, Division of Environment Health Science, University of Minnesota
