Selecting Biomarker Methods for Evolving Oncology Research Workflows
As biomarker testing becomes central to precision oncology workflows, research laboratories are under increasing pressure to select and integrate methods that deliver reliable results across diverse sample types, including liquid biopsy.
This webinar explores how to make informed methodological decisions when implementing and combining approaches for biomarker detection.
Through real-world examples, attendees will gain insight into balancing sensitivity, turnaround time, and sample constraints, alongside key considerations for verification and workflow design. Join to better align your research laboratory strategy with evolving clinical and translational demands.
Attend this webinar to:
- Gain an overview of NGS, qPCR and dPCR targeted for biomarker detection across FFPE, cytology, and liquid biopsy samples
- Learn to integrate multiple methodologies for optimal results, including key considerations like limitations, workflows, and turnaround time
- Discover best practices for analytical validation to help ensure reliable implementation in research laboratories

Presenter: Javier Hernández Losa, PhD ( Director, Molecular Biology Laboratory, University Hospital Vall d’Hebron )
Dr. Javier Hernández Losa has a PhD in biology from the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (2005). He has led the molecular biology laboratory within the pathology service of the Hospital Universitari Vall d´Hebron in Barcelona since 2006. The laboratory specializes in the study of biomarkers, mainly in tissue samples, and these studies have recently been extended to liquid biopsy samples. Over the last few years, he has coordinated three PhD theses and supervises several master’s projects based on the study of cfDNA and exosomes, both in in vitro models and in clinical samples from patients with advanced tumors. Currently, he is a member of the Low Prevalence Tumors Program of CIBERONC and is also the principal investigator of several research projects.
