Osteosarcoma research

Osteosarcoma is the most common type of primary bone cancer affecting adolescents and children attributed to rapid bone growth and turnover with a peak incidence at 18 years old. it is a rare incurable and often fatal disease. The current osteosarcoma treatments include standard chemotherapy, limb salvage surgery or amputation. The 5-year relative survival rate is 70% for localized forms, however, metastasis is present in about one fifth to one-quarter of patients at diagnosis, which then contributes to a 5-year survival rate of around 20%. The survival statistics have remained constant with no advances in treatment options for decades highlighting the need for new therapeutic options.

Machine Learning for Patient Forecasting and Site Selection

pharmavoice

The clinical development marketplace continues to become more complex and competitive, with stricter regulatory standards and trial oversight—all the while demanding patient-centric drug development. These, and other factors, contribute to unsustainable costs and longer timelines before much-needed therapies reach the market.

Cell Biology 2017

labroots

Join us in advancing basic biology and recent tools and techniques in cell research by coming together with like-minded colleagues. Cell Biology 2017 creates a valuable platform for inspiring global and interdisciplinary collaboration in a virtual environment. The Conference will bring together professors, post-docs, biologists and biomedical professionals from all over the world. Attend interactive sessions, first-class exhibitions and virtual poster presentations. A cell is the smallest individual unit of any living organism. Cell biology studies cells – their physiological properties, structure, the organelles they contain, environmental interactions, life cycle, division and death, on a microscopic and molecular level.

Biomarker Driven Drug Development

labroots

Dramatic responses observed with targeted agents in the ‘right’ genomic context have fueled large scale sequencing efforts to identify ‘effective’ treatments for a given patient. In order to expeditiously evaluate a targeted agent against a potential ‘driver’ genetic aberration, so-called Basket trials are conducted.
