The sessions and topics for BioWales 2010
Translational Research
Translational research bridges the gap between basic research and a marketable product. Translational research helps turn early-stage innovations into new health products, advancing the innovation to the point where it becomes attractive for further development by the medical, pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries. In this session we hear the views from industry, academia, the NHS and grant awarding bodies.
Stem Cells 
Realisation of the full potential of human stem cells for drug discovery and therapy will require development of new tools and technologies for the industrialisation of stem cell expansion and differentiation. This session will focus on the latest R&D programmes and developments in academia and industry.
Cancer Genetics
Cancer genetics investigates how individuals' personal and family history may increase their risk of certain cancers and is becoming an important part of understanding the complexities of cancer and the role of inheritance. This session will look into how researchers identify genetic differences related to cancer risk and therapeutics, and how to provide the tools to examine the effects of these changes on the genome and cellular responses.
Point of Care Diagnostics
It is expected that the point of care diagnostics market will produce exceptional growth in the coming years. In this session we will look at the increased availability of accurate rapid diagnostic tests, market demand, and trends towards testing in the home, GP surgeries and high street pharmacies.
