QB3's Industry Speaker Series
The Future of Diagnostics—Detecting, Preventing, and Predicting Disease
|
| |
| DATE |
Tuesday, February 28, 2012 |
|
| TIME |
noon - 1:00 pm (Lunch will be served) |
|
| PLACE |
Genentech Hall N-114, UCSF Mission Bay |
| SPEAKER |
Eric Whitters, Ph.D., VP, Research & Development, Novartis Diagnostics
|
|
Diagnostics inform decision making across the entire healthcare spectrum. Yet although they may influence as much as 60-70 percent of health care decision-making, they comprise less than 5 percent of total hospital and Medicare costs. Eric Whitters, VP of Global R&D at Novartis Diagnostics, based in Emeryville, will discuss where diagnostics are heading, and how tools that detect, prevent, and predict disease impact clinical decision-making. Some of the areas where Eric will focus include:
- Major forces contributing to advancement of diagnostics such as access to genomic information, understanding of biological pathways, demand for rational data, and need for cost-effective treatments.
- Evolution of diagnostics in the areas of immunoassays, molecular diagnostics, and cell biology.
- Role of emerging technologies in reshaping the medical field including allergy diagnostics, serology testing, and electronic biosensors for near-patient testing for blood screening and vaccines.
