Following the program, there will be a reception and dinner for Technology Day attendees and those attending the March 7 Affiliates Planning Meeting.

Additional Information

Purpose: This Technology Day will address statistical issues in analyzing proteomics data for the early detection of disease. An example is detecting ovarian and prostate cancer from trace amounts of marker proteins. Participants will gain a better understanding of the current state of the field, its potential for future development, and the analytical challenges that face researchers.

Participation: Each NISS Affiliate may send one representative to the Technology Day. Additional representatives will be accommodated on a space-available basis. The cost for attendees from non-Affiliates is $1500.
