SCIENTIFIC SESSIONS
The Third AACR International Conference on Molecular Diagnostics in Cancer Therapeutic Development: Fulfilling the Promise of Personalized Medicine provided a vital forum for basic scientists, translational researchers, physician scientists, and others who are involved in this quickly evolving field. The conference program featured presentations from outstanding leaders in the field in a variety of session formats including educational sessions, plenary sessions, panel discussions, as well as a special professional advancement session for young investigators. There was no overlap in the plenary sessions to maximize the opportunities for trans-disciplinary interactions – a key hallmark of this conference and an essential element for the integration of molecular diagnostics with cancer drug development and patient treatment.
POSTER SESSIONS
In addition to the presentations in the Educational and Plenary Sessions, over 90 abstracts were presented on September 23 and 24, during two poster sessions. Each poster session was held from 2:15 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. and included posters on a range of topics.
PROFESSIONAL ADVANCEMENT SESSION
A special session was held for young investigators to provide them the opportunity to meet recognized leaders in molecular diagnostics, cancer therapeutic development, and many of the related areas that were the focus of the conference. This “Meet-the-Experts” Roundtable session was held on September 24 from 1:00 p.m. to 2:15 p.m.. During this informal session, participants were able to assess their career goals, discuss scientific issues, exchange ideas, and network with others working in these fields. This was an invaluable opportunity for young investigators to receive guidance and insight from senior-level scientists about the opportunities and challenges in these areas of science and cancer medicine.
