Highlights Of The Conference BIOCME-2014 "Advances in Biochemical and Molecular Diagnostics : Recent Research Trends ” 27th -28th September 2014 SRINAGAR , KASHMIR BIOCME-2014 : In recent years as need for biochemical investigations and their accuracy has gained utmost importance, automation in biochemical diagnostics has achieved new heights. Rapid progress is being made in development of new technologies-molecular genetics and immunological techniques have been applied for biochemical diagnostics. CME’s on research and development of high-thorough put novel methods, their clinical use and community/industry participation are crucial for progress in diagnostic biochemistry. We aim to bring together experts from various areas to address key aspects of diagnostic biochemistry. Clinicians, scientists with expertise in biochemistry, genetics, immunology, bioinformatics, medical ethics, methodology, diagnostics and clinical research will weave in diagnostic applications and biomarker discovery talks between different specialist areas. Multi-disciplinary sessions will include basic, translational and clinical presentations on cutting edge research to provide an integrated approach to understanding the diagnostic advances in biochemistry. This conference will comprise of symposia wherein through presentations and interdisciplinary discussions, leaders in the field will deliberate on how to further shape this emerging field which has witnessed rapid progress in recent years. Unique insights and tools for optimizing and streamlining clinical investigations, achievements of laboratory medicine based industry will be focused upon.
