AACC Middle East to Be Held in Abu Dhabi
By LabMedica International staff writers Posted on 01 Aug 2017 |
AACC, in partnership with Al Borg Medical Laboratories, will launch a new laboratory medicine conference and expedition next spring – AACC Middle East in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE) from March 22-24, 2018. The event will offer opportunities to connect with global leaders in clinical chemistry, molecular diagnostics, mass spectrometry, translational medicine, lab management, and other areas of breaking science in laboratory medicine.
AACC brings together more than 50,000 clinical laboratory professionals, physicians, research scientists, and business leaders from around the world focused on clinical chemistry, molecular diagnostics, mass spectrometry, translational medicine, lab management, and other areas of progressing laboratory science.
AACC Middle East will feature the latest breakthroughs in every area of clinical testing, including mobile health, molecular diagnostics, mass spectrometry, next generation sequencing, point of care, and automation. The scientific program will also feature experts from the U.S. and the Middle East, sharing knowledge and innovation. Attendees will be able to meet and network with experts in the field, and engage with their peers during the scientific program highlighting recent advances in laboratory medicine.
“Healthcare is increasingly global and interconnected,” said AACC CEO Janet B. Kreizman. “The AACC leadership is excited to bring forward this new opportunity for laboratory experts from a range of healthcare settings to learn about the latest innovations in clinical testing and engage with like-minded professionals from the Middle East and nearby regions. We expect that all the major players in the IVD industry will want to be a part of this groundbreaking event.”
