Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s
Point-of-Care Diagnostics for Global Health & Biodefense
Advanced Methods to Enable Critical Decision Making
June 18, 2021
As we all know too well, public health emergencies caused by infectious disease, such as COVID-19 have the potential to kill hundreds of thousands of people. The development of bioanalytical methods that are field-ready, compatible, scalable and reliable
is critical to effective diagnostics at the point-of-care. In addition, clinical data must be generated and incorporated into the key operational decision-maker networks. Cambridge Healthtech’s 28th International Biodetection Technologies: Point-of-Care Diagnostics for Global Health & Biodefense brings together the international industry, academic and government biodetection community to discuss advancements in approaches for optimizing performance of field technologies, translational challenges, diagnostic tools and data analysis to enable
effective decision-making. This event is in conjunction with our 28th International Biodetection Technologies: Biothreat and Pathogen Detection ,and together, these events will provide two full days of programming
around biodetection technologies in both the field and the lab.
Topics will include but are not limited to:
- Software Solutions for Diagnostics:
- Machine Learning for Diagnostics
- Predictive Analytics
- Biomarker Mining
- Advanced Methods at the Point-of-Care:
- Nucleic Acid Technologies
- Rapid Identification and Characterization
- Viral, Bacterial and Fungal Agent Detection
- Antimicrobial Resistance
- Rapid Diagnostic Methods
- CRISPR
- Policy for Use and Deployment:
- Public Health Policy and Preparedness for deployment of diagnostics inclusive of EUA
- Synthetic biology –California law, etc.
- Translation of Technology to Field Ready Applications
- International Response Considerations for Fielded Diagnostics
- Manufacturing Planning Impact on Funding and Deployment
- Biosafety and Containment
- Genomics
Who should attend: Scientific Program Developers, Defense Business Sector, Civil and Environmental Engineers, Defense Analysts Researchers, Government policy analysts, Staff Researchers, Preparedness Business Managers, Director
of Special Projects, Emergency Managers, Policy Directors, Research Scientists, Science & Technology Managers, Program Managers, Vice President of Strategic Development, Director of CBRNE Programs, Professor of Policy Development, Principal
Investigator, Senior Members of the Technical Staff, Senior Manager, Manager of Lab Operations, Lab Director, Director of Emergency Management, Senior Scientist, Plant Pathologist, Physical Scientist, Engagement Manager, Biologist
