Cambridge Healthtech Institute's Third Annual Conference on Lab-on-a-Chip and Microarrays. 22-24 January 2001, Zurich, Switzerland.

Abstract:

:Cambridge Healthtech Institute's Third Annual Conference on Lab-on-a-Chip and Microarray technology covered the latest advances in this technology and applications in life sciences. Highlights of the meetings are reported briefly with emphasis on applications in genomics, drug discovery and molecular diagnostics. There was an emphasis on microfluidics because of the wide applications in laboratory and drug discovery. The lab-on-a-chip provides the facilities of a complete laboratory in a hand-held miniature device. Several microarray systems have been used for hybridisation and detection techniques. Oligonucleotide scanning arrays provide a versatile tool for the analysis of nucleic acid interactions and provide a platform for improving the array-based methods for investigation of antisense therapeutics. A method for analysing combinatorial DNA arrays using oligonucleotide-modified gold nanoparticle probes and a conventional scanner has considerable potential in molecular diagnostics. Various applications of microarray technology for high-throughput screening in drug discovery and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) analysis were discussed. Protein chips have important applications in proteomics. With the considerable amount of data generated by the different technologies using microarrays, it is obvious that the reading of the information and its interpretation and management through the use of bioinformatics is essential. Various techniques for data analysis were presented. Biochip and microarray technology has an essential role to play in the evolving trends in healthcare, which integrate diagnosis with prevention/treatment and emphasise personalised medicines.
