Michael Nohaile, Global Head of Novartis Molecular Diagnostics, will give a featured presentation on ¡ The Biomarker is Not the End ¨C It¡¯s Just the Beginning¡¯ at GTC¡¯s 2nd Biomarker Europe Summit (Sept 5th-7th, 2012 in Zurich, Switzerland)What do drug discovery and translational scientists need to know to take their qualified biomarkers and turn them into marketable validated companion diagnostics? Sometimes it¡¯s not what you know, but who you know. As drug discovery and translational scientists think about using stratification with biomarkers to improve the chances of getting medicines to patients, a number of areas of expertise need to be considered. Getting the right input from the right expert at the right time can make or break your effort to successfully bring a biomarker-based companion diagnostic into clinical practice. Dr Nohaile will give his perspective on what it takes to transform a biomarker into a commercial test.
