■Connecting Biomarker Discovery to Clinical Application - Explained with Real Cases of Neurodegenerative Diseases Although biomarkers are discovered, many do not reach clinical application. The reasons for this lie in multiple hurdles that arise after discovery, such as "narrowing down candidates," "reproducibility," and "connecting to clinical practice." 1. How should promising candidates obtained from comprehensive exploration be narrowed down? 2. How can reproducibility and scalability be ensured? 3. What are the key points for smoothly transitioning to clinical research? 4. What should be considered in data science throughout the overall flow? In this online seminar, we will clearly explain specific strategies for advancing from discovery to clinical application based on actual research cases of Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis, in an easy-to-understand manner in Japanese. *Olink products and services are for research purposes only.
