Diagnostics Channel - Moving Diagnostics to the Clinic 
This DVD showcases the best of the Diagnostics Channel at the 2012 Molecular Medicine Tri-Con. Coverage includes improving patient outcomes by adoption of genomic analysis, FDA perspectives on regulation of LDTs and companion diagnostics, next-generation sequencing for the clinic, and the prognostic and predictive value of enumeration and molecular characterization of circulating tumor cells. An overview of genomic screening and carrier detection are also addressed.

Understanding EMT: Mechanisms and Metastasis to MET 
Epethelial Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) plays a critical role in cancer cells, but understanding of its mechanisms is incomplete. EMT causes cells to develop increased motility, invasiveness, and greater resistance to apoptosis. These changes make the cells more like stem cells, allowing them to self renew.

Roadmap for Accelerating Commercialization of Molecular Diagnostics 
This short course is focused on development of molecular diagnostics as they make their way from biomarker discovery and initial proof of clinical performance through to commercial launch, partnership delivery, and market development.  The course will emphasize identification of critical hurdles that when addressed properly, can materially accelerate progress.

Identification, Characterization and Targeting of Cancer Stem Cells 
This short course reports on the considerable progress of identifying and validating specific targets on stem cells that are not present on other cells, and on specific therapeutics for these targets and for stem cell specific pathways that inhibit tumour growth and reduce CSC frequency. Moreover it covers new studies that focus on gene expression signatures revealing new therapeutic targets that are providing promising results in prostate cancers.

Smarter Studies: Designing Efficient and Rigorous Molecular Diagnostics and Biomarker Studies 
Omics measurements are inherently comparative—we compare healthy to diseased, responders to non-responders, good vs. poor prognosis, etc.  The focus of these evaluations is on the how of the comparison (the technology), but it matters just as much what we compare (samples, conditions).  It is generally difficult and costly to improve the measurement performance, but it is often rather simple to achieve a quantum leap in the quality and validity of your results with an improved study design.

Building an Ontological Framework from Drug Discovery to Clinical Data
Ontologies are increasingly used to formally specify objects and their relations in biological and medical domains and to drive modeling, integration, and analysis of data from genomics, proteomics, drug research, disease, treatment, and electronic health records.
