Clinical Diagnostics & Research Virtual Event Series 2022

Thirteen years ago, Labroots launched a new learning platform for a global scientific audience. This year, the 13th Annual Event in the Clinical Diagnostics & Research Virtual Event Series will again bring together clinicians, researchers, medical experts, and professionals to discuss the latest advances in the field. As always, Labroots aims to elevate the level of collaboration and in turn, advance clinical diagnostics, research and medicine. 

On November 9, 2022, thousands will join in a discussion of the continuous progress made with advances in laboratory testing, patient care, and treatment. With new technologies and treatments available, updates in regulatory processes are also necessary to ensure patient safety and proper practices. 

This year's event includes the following tracks: 
  • Emerging Diagnostic Technologies – Every year new advances are made in diagnostic technologies. This track discusses these and potential future advances and technologies. 
  • Perspectives on SARS CoV-2 and Monkeypox – Emerging diseases require new approaches. This track focuses on clinical and diagnostic approaches to current global health concerns. 
  • Precision Medicine and Special Populations – In this track experts will discuss the role of precision medicine in patient groups that require specialized care.  
  • The Lab's Role in Advancing Equity – Equity, equality, and inclusion are important in every workplace, the lab is no exception. This track explores how we can work to advance equity in laboratory environments.  

Call for Posters — Do you work in clinical research or diagnostics? Share your research with a virtual poster! Virtual poster sessions offer the opportunity to present your data to a global audience via a PDF poster with optional video summary and discuss the results with interested colleagues across the globe through email or our virtual networking lounge. Plan now to have your poster included in the 2022 Clinical Research & Diagnostics Virtual Event. Read about how to optimize your poster for a virtual audience here

Submit your abstract here.  

Our virtual conference allows you to participate in a global setting with no travel or cost to you. The event will remain open for 2 years from the date of the live event, and the webinars will be available for unlimited on-demand viewing. This virtual conference also offers increased reach for the global clinical research community with a high degree of interaction through live-streaming video and chat sessions.
