Healthcare Integrated Biobanking and Multiomics Biomarker Analysis” (July 3-5, 2014) Workshop: „Lipidomics for Biomarker and Clinical Analysis” (July 1-3, 2014)

Second announcement

International conference: „Healthcare integrated biobanking and multiomics biomarker analysis” (July 3-5, 2014) Workshop: „Lipidomics for biomarker and clinical analysis” (July 1-3, 2014)

Dear Colleague,

We would like to announce the International Conference “Healthcare integrated biobanking and multiomics biomarker analysis“ held in Regensburg during July 3-5, 2014

In addition, a pre-conference workshop on “Lipidomics for biomarker and clinical analysis” will take place during July 1-3, 2014.

We would like to invite you to participate in our international events and visit the medieval city Regensburg in Bavaria.

The goal of the conference is to transfer recent research and innovative biomarker candidates from diverse body fluid- and cell-based analyses into applications for health-care integrated biobanking, diagnostics, clinical practice, therapy-monitoring and outcome prediction. It covers biomarker/biobanking aspects of multiomics analysis of a broad range of aging disorders such as vascular diseases, “diabesity”, neurodegenerative diseases and inflammation.

The workshop will present lipidomic approaches to investigate body fluids, cells and tissues with a focus on prealanytics, analytical strategies as well as data processing and visualization.

The conference and the workshop will bring together researchers, clinicians and industry to address the latest developments in health care integrated biobanking and multiomics biomarker analysis.

In addition, the current status of the health-care integrated diagnostic and therapeutic biobank facility of the Institute for Laboratory Medicine and Transfusion Medicine at the University Hospital Regensburg will be presented.

For more information please visit the website www.multiomics.ukr.de

We are looking forward to meeting you in Regensburg in July 2014.

Prof. Schmitz and the organizing committee, Evelyn Orsó, Gerhard Liebisch, Susanne Heimerl & Megi Sharikadze
