ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The Third Annual Digital PCR event will bring together industry visionaries and early adopters to discuss digital PCR's capabilities, limitations, and future applications. Researchers will examine applications in cancer biomarker and rare mutation detection, non-invasive fetal DNA analysis, and infectious disease quantification, particularly in HIV. Novel digital PCR devices from startups and academic labs will be showcased. Other topics to be addressed include digital PCR integration with existing technologies, solutions for processing difficult samples as well as increasing sample throughput, and guidelines and best practices for digital detection.

Day 1

KEYNOTE PRESENTATION
Advancing Diagnostics with Digital Detection: From Quantifying Ultra-Rare Mitochondrial DNA Mutations to Profiling Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes
Jason H. Bielas, Ph.D., Associate Member, Translational Research Program, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC); Affiliate Assistant Professorship, Department of Pathology, University of Washington

In addition to precise quantification of nucleic acids, there are a number of advantages that digital PCR affords over other detection methods. I will discuss these advantages and review a number of novel digital PCR-dependent assays, which we have developed in our laboratory.

RECOMMENDED SHORT COURSES*

Digital PCR Experiment Design and Primer
Instructor
Jim Huggett, B.Sc. (Hons), Ph.D., Science Leader, Nucleic Acid Metrology, Molecular & Cell Biology, LGC
October 6, 9:00AM - 12:00PM

This course will introduce the concept of digital PCR (dPCR) and explain how it compares to other molecular methodologies, citing both advantages and disadvantages. Included in the discussion will be the application of dPCR to perform minority target detection, absolute quantification and measurement of copy number variation as well as the analysis of RNA using reverse transcriptase dPCR. The discussion will also include some of the specific challenges associated with performing this technique.
