Participate
in a conference call seminar and Q&A featuring Dr. David Wong
of the University of California, Los Angeles |
|
Wednesday,
January 4th at 9:00 am (Pacific) / 12:00 pm (Eastern) |
|
|
Dr. Wong will discuss using gene expression profiles of bodily biofluids, primarily saliva and serum, for disease diagnostics. His research team is developing a transcriptome-based diagnsotic system to identify cancer-associated RNAs from the saliva of oral cancer patients.
Topics covered will include: selection of biofluid, sample preparation and stabilization, RNA amplification, array selection and informatics analysis.
Dr. Wong discussed some of his earlier work in the July issue of the AMB, featuring six interviews with cancer researchers.

About the AMB Symposia Series
AMB interviews are read by thousands of people in the scientific community and often raise many questions, which readers don't get the opportunity to ask. To help foster dialog between scientists, Affymetrix Microarray Bulletin has launched the AMB Symposia Series. These dial-in conference calls give scientists an opportunity to present their work--perhaps published just days before--and answer questions from the scientific community. The AMB calls are very similar to traditional scientific conference symposia, offering a great opportunity for people working in the same field to share their methods, tools and insights.
