Detection and
Quantification"
Biomolecular Detection and Quantification (BDQ) is an open access,
peer-reviewed international journal dedicated to championing excellence
in molecular study design, measurement, data analysis and
reporting. Its focus is
on the application of qualitative and quantitative molecular
methodologies to all areas of clinical and life sciences.
A special BDQ issue with the title “Advanced
Molecular Diagnostics for Biomarker Discovery” will be
published in summer 2105. You
can submit your conference contribution
(talk or poster) manuscript until 30th
April 2015.
