Extracellular DNA in blood has emerged as a minimally invasive biomarker for detecting disease. Apart from sequencing cell-free DNA fragments, researchers can also obtain information about methylation states and expression patterns. Scientists combine these data to understand the pathogenic processes that lead to DNA shedding and to develop biomarkers that can predict diseases before patients develop symptoms. In this webinar brought to you by The Scientist, Stella Goulopoulou and Iwijn de Vlaminck will discuss how they analyze cell-free DNA to identify biomarkers of different diseases and their complications.
Topics to be covered
- Circulating mitochondrial DNA dynamics in preeclampsia
- Cell-free biomarkers to predict immune-related complications of COVID-19, organ transplants, and stem cell therapies
