Gia Lai (VNA) – Nearly 100 scientists, young researchers, doctoral candidates and students from 14 countries have gathered for the International Conference on Molecular Diagnostics in Microbiology and Diseases, organised by Rencontres du Vietnam and the International Centre for Interdisciplinary Science and Education (ICISE) in the central province of Gia Lai on December 11.
The conference features almost 80 presentations across plenary sessions, parallel sessions and poster sessions, focusing on leading research trends such as point-of-care diagnostics; predictive biomarkers used to anticipate individual responses to therapy; and the development of new tools and platforms for rapid molecular-level detection and diagnosis.
Vo Cao Thi Mong Hoai, Deputy Director of the provincial Department of Science and Technology, said the presence of distinguished professors and scientists from top universities and research institutes worldwide reaffirms the academic stature of the event and reflects recognition of Vietnam’s increasing role and ongoing efforts to connect the global scientific community.
She expressed confidence that the conference will continue to broaden international cooperation networks, promote new research avenues in molecular diagnostics, and generate greater opportunities for practical applications in healthcare, agriculture and sustainable development.
During the event, scientists and researchers introduced numerous diagnostic applications in microbiology and pathology, offering participants deeper insights into a rapidly expanding field with the potential to shape the future of precision medicine.
In particular, several presentations highlighted the diversity of molecular diagnostic applications, ranging from human disease detection and infectious diseases to microbial analysis and crop disease management, with many reports demonstrating strong practical value and applicability. /.
