Workshop on “microRNAs and innovative technologies for human diseases diagnosis”
Where: Polo Scientifico e Tecnologico Fabio Ferrari
University of Trento
Via Sommarive 9, Povo (TN)
Room A103
This Workshop will provide an overview on the role of microRNAs as improved biomarkers for the diagnosis of diseases and for clinical decision-making, and on its prospective use in innovative miRNA detection systems matching chemistry, optoelectronics and bioinformatics. The event is organized in the framework of the EU project miRNA-DisEASY*, which delivers the sharing, education and training of talented researchers for an insight in the future of biomarkers.
