LIVE SymposiumMonday, December 13, 20211:00 – 4:00 PM Eastern TimeRegister NowThere is an urgent requirement for quantitative biomarkers for neurological and psychiatric disorders to examine disease threat, facilitate diagnoses, and measure drug treatment efficacy. Due to the selective permeability of the blood-brain barrier, there are only trace amounts of brain-derived proteins in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid, which makes it challenging to establish practical biomarker screening for brain conditions. Researchers look beyond the traditional protein assays and integrate transcriptomics and practical imaging methods to change brain condition diagnostics.In this virtual symposium, an expert panel will discuss how advances in single-cell sequencing, fluid-based RNA detection, and practical imaging accelerate biomarker discovery to much better comprehend the brain in health and disease.Symposium program1:10 PM– Identifying Disease-Relevant Biomarkers for Spinal Muscular AtrophyAllison D.
