*Goal of Breakout Sessions:

  • Identify gaps in our knowledge and describe future areas of research.
  • Discuss information on what resources are available in which biomarkers could be validated, including cataloging of ongoing studies.
  • Discuss the best way to validate biomarkers in terms of sensitivity, specificity and predictability.
