    Washington, D.C.

    The primary goal of the symposium is to address the significant impact of pre-analytical biospecimen variability on cancer research and molecular medicine.

    The symposium will feature expert presentations and interactive discussions on topics in biospecimen science including:
    • HER2/neu: Lessons Learned
    • Access to Existing Knowledge in Biospecimen Science
    • Research Advances in Biospecimen Science
    • Assessing and Qualifying Biospecimen Quality
    • Patient Perspective
    • Incorporating Biospecimen Science into Research and Clinical Practice

    Key presenters to address the significant impact of biospecimen variability in cancer research and recent advances in biospecimen science include:
    • Carolyn Compton, M.D., Ph.D. (NCI/OBBR)
    • Pat Brown, M.D., Ph.D. (Stanford Univ.)
    • Angelo DeMarzo, M.D., Ph.D. (John Hopkins University)
