Pharmaceuticals will present on Secreted Proteins as Biomarkers: Catching Them at
the Source at GTCbio's Rediscovering Biomarkers: Detection, Development & Validation
Conference taking place on July 23-24, 2007 at the San Diego Marriott La Jolla in La
Jolla, CA.

Identification of low abundance tissue-specific biomarkers can be achieved by
analyzing proteins destined for export by the relevant tissue. Secreted proteins
traverse the Golgi apparatus of the cell before being released to the outside. In
the Golgi, these proteins are much more concentrated than in the blood and are
therefore easier to detect and identify. By comparing the Golgi contents from
tissue under different conditions, such as diseased and normal or drug treated and
untreated, specific circulating markers can be successfully discovered.

GTCbio's Rediscovering Biomarkers: Detection, Development & Validation Conference
provides comprehensive coverage of a wide range of topics including Biomarker
Application in Oncology Clinical Development, Drug Discovery, Development and
Diagnostics of Biomarkers, Tools for Improving Measurement, Safety and Validation of
Biomarkers, and Upcoming Technology and Trends.
