Biofluid Based Biomarkers in Neuropsychiatric Syndromes — The First Webinar

Oct. 6, 2021
11:30 a.m. CT

Biofluid biomarkers have established value predicting cognitive and functional decline. However, their associations with neuropsychiatric symptoms are widely unknown. Furthermore, neuropsychiatric syndromes may serve as proxy markers for neuropathological change. In this first webinar, we will discuss the current knowledge on biological predictors of neuropsychiatric syndromes and the role of biofluid biomarkers as outcome measures in longitudinal studies.

Speakers:
Corinne Fischer and Rawan Tarawneh

Clinical Implementation of Blood-Based Biomarkers: Global Perspectives, Science and Health Economics

Oct. 12, 2021
10 a.m. CT

This collaborative webinar between the Biofluid Biomarkers PIA and Health Policy PIA will discuss factors remaining to be addressed from the scientific standpoint on the road to implementation. We will consider implications for patient-informed consent, interpretation of results and ways to study the potential health economics impact, which might vary according to geography/setting.

Panelists:
