Workshop 2 (Morning 9:00 - 12:00) Title: LAB-ON-A-CHIP (LOC) TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE ISOLATION OF CIRCULATING MARKERS: APPLICATION IN LIQUID BIOPSIES Presenter: Steven Soper, University of Kansas, USA Workshop Description: Purpose: The goal of this short course is to introduce participants into the burgeoning area of liquid biopsies and the technologies used for the isolation of the markers (Circulating Tumor Cells, CTCs, cell-free DNA, cfDNA, and exosomes) directly from whole blood comprising the liquid biopsy. The major technology platform that will be discussed includes lab-on-a-chip (LOC) platforms. This short course will be broken down into two general areas: (1) Operational characteristics of microfluidics for selecting rare markers from whole blood; and (2) applications of microfluidic technologies for the selection of rare circulating biomarkers from whole blood.
