Event Title
FDA Public Meeting: Identification of Concepts and Terminology for Multi-Component Biomarkers
March 23 - 24, 2022

Date:
March 23 - 24, 2022
Day1:
- ET
Day2:
- ET

Agenda:

The FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research and the FDA Biomarker Working Group will convene a virtual workshop on March 23-24, 2022, 1-3 PM (ET) with title “Identification of Concepts and Terminology for Multi-Component Biomarkers”. The workshop is intended to develop multi-component biomarker concepts and terminology, to identify areas of conceptual language development through presentation of use cases, and discuss gaps in terminology for concepts and approaches related to multi-component biomarkers. You can find more information on the goals and objectives of the symposium here.

The symposium will be accessible to the public via live webcast. Please register online to receive an email with the instructions on how to join this event. Additionally, there are pre-recorded talks that will be available to the public three weeks prior to the live event, and participants are highly encouraged to view the presentations before attending the live discussions.
