<http://www.brnsymposium.com/meeting/brnsymposium/>, "Advancing Cancer
Research Through Biospecimen Science," March 16-18, 2009 in Bethesda,
Maryland.
The symposium will address the significant impact of pre-analytical
biospecimen variables on cancer research and molecular medicine. Hosted
by NCI's Office of Biorepositories and Biospecimen Research
<http://biospecimens.cancer.gov/>, the meeting will bring together
leaders in the fields of biospecimen research, genomics, proteomics,
oncology, pathology, biobanking, hospital administration and
pharmaceutics as well as patient advocates.

Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center
5701 Marinelli Road
Bethesda, Maryland
*Sessions include*:
* Using the right biospecimens in clinical research and care
* Evidence for pre-analytical variability during the acquisition and
processing of tissue biospecimens
* Solutions for reducing pre-analytical variability in
biofluid-based biomarker R&D
* Considerations for experimental design in biospecimen research
* Strategies and tools for accessing and publishing data in
biospecimen science
* Evidence for the proper use of previously banked tissues
* The patient's perspective on research in the biospecimen sciences
Please join us for this stimulating and informative three-day event that
will feature presentations, interactive discussions and workshops about
the issue of biospecimen quality and ways to address it. Register
