2018 International Forum on Rare DiseasES and Orphan Drugs
In some parts of the world, an orphan disease is a rare disease whose rarity means there is a lack of a market large enough to gain support and rESourcES for discovering treatments for it, except by the government granting economically advantageous conditions to creating and selling such treatments. Orphan drugs are onES so created or sold.
2018 International Symposium on Neonatal Hereditary DiseasES and Translational Medicine
Monogenic diseasES are frequent causES of neonatal morbidity and mortality, and disease prESentations are often undifferentiated at birth. More than 3500 monogenic diseasES have been characterized, but clinical tESting is available for only some of them and many feature clinical and genetic heterogeneity.
2018 International Forum on Novel AntibodiES
An antibody (Ab), also known as an immunoglobulin (Ig), is a large, Y-shaped protein produced mainly by plasma cells that is used by the immune systemto neutralize pathogens such as pathogenic bacteria and virusES. The antibody recognizES a unique molecule of the pathogen, called an antigen, via the Fab's variable region.
2018 International Forum on Novel VaccinES
A vaccine is a biological preparation that providES active acquired immunity to a particular disease. The agent stimulatES the body's immune system to recognize the agent as a threat, dEStroy it, and to further recognize and dEStroy any of the microorganisms associated with that agent that it may encounter in the future.
2018 (3rd) International Symposium on Protein Modification and DiseasES
Protein Modification refers to the covalent and generally enzymatic modification of proteins following protein biosynthESis, which is of great importance in cell signaling. Modification of proteins can be experimentally detected by a variety of techniquES, including mass spectrometry, Eastern blotting, and WEStern blotting.
2018 Forum on Next Generation High Sensitivity TESting Technology and Application
Including topics like liquid biopsy, microfluidics and exosomES, this forum will focus on basic rESearch, clinical application, technology R&D as well as industrialization. Bioon's missions are to pave the way for discovery of new biomarkers and to facilitate developments of in vitro diagnostics ( IVD ) & early cancer detection!
