Charles Cantor: back in Moscow or how to use a epigenetic phenomenon in diagnostics

I would like to say a few words about recent lecture of Charles Cantor, called "How will molecular diagnostics change medical practice and healthcare?"This talk was about new approaches in noninvasive prenatal test by sequencing of maternal plasma DNA, and cancer diagnostics by analysing the level of circulating tumor DNA.


Charles Cantor — famous specialist in molecular genetics, biomedicine and biotechnology, he in6vented pulse field gel electrophoresis, and immuno-PCR  one of the most sensitive method for protein detection. The lecture was held on 26th of July at the The First Open Institute for Regenerative Medicine for Young Scientists.

Nowadays Charles Cantor is a chief of Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Chief Scientific Officer in Sequenom, Inc. It should be mentioned that in the long period of time has been director of the Department of Energy Human Genome Project. I’m sure that all people that had visited this meeting got a real pleasure. 
All of them had a chance to talk with Charles Cantor in informal atmosphere during the pizza-party (it's a tradition of The First Open Institute for Regenerative Medicine for Young Scientists).



So, I believe that Charles Cantor liked it too.
