Date : FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 3, 2010
Time: 04:00 PM CET - 10:00 AM EST - 07:00 AM PST
> DESCRIPTION:
Multigene classifiers, also known simply as "gene signatures", can be developed from microarray-based expression profiling as potentially useful prognostic and/or predictive tools.
This webinar will review statistical issues in the development and validation of gene signatures.
Using three recently developed signatures (MammaPrint®, Oncotype DX® and MapQuant DxTM), we will discuss the role of gene selection, classification methods and cluster analysis in signature development, as well as the need for internal and external validation of the signatures.
> SPEAKERS:
Dr. Marc Buyse
Dr. Stefan Michiels
> KEY LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
The participants will learn:
- To understand the development and validation of gene signatures
- To identify study designs and statistical techniques appropriate for signature validation.
> WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Statisticians and clinicians involved in the development of multigene signatures for use in the clinic.
> FEE:
No Charge.
> ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The webinar will last 60 min. There will be a Q&A session at the end of the presentation. Questions can be sent to the presenter after the presentation and answers will be in real time. Once you have registered, you will receive the instructions on how to join the parallel web and audio conference.
