Panel Discussion: Companion Diagnostics from Biomarker Discovery to Global Launch: Building Better Partnerships Across Science, Regulation, & Commercialization

12:30 pm - Tuesday 6th October 2026

  • At what point in therapeutic development should a sponsor begin thinking seriously about a CDx strategy and what are signs that teams may already be late?
  • How are technologies such as digital pathology, NGS, liquid biopsy, multiplex testing, AI-enabled analysis, or bioinformatics changing the traditional CDx development model? 
  • What needs to change in how pharma and diagnostic companies collaborate to make CDx development more efficient, globally scalable, commercially successful, and ultimately better for patients?
