This week in Banff, Alberta, Canada is a Keystone Symposia conference called [The Cancer Genome](https://keystonesymposia.org/index.cfm?e=web.Meeting.Program&meetingid=1374), along with a joint meeting on [Genomics and Personalized Medicine](https://keystonesymposia.org/index.cfm?e=web.meeting.program&meetingid=1394). Their Twitter description (@KeystoneSymp) describes the Keystone organization as “A catalyst for accelerating life science discovery and connecting scientists within and across disciplines at symposia worldwide”. A SeraCare research scientist, Dr. Farol Tomson, is presenting a poster entitled “New Technical Approach to Construct ctDNA Materials for use in Characterizing, Developing and Validating Plasma Assays”, and is [available for download here (PDF)](https://blog.seracare.com/Portals/1/Documents/SeraCare%20Seraseq%20ctDNA%20Poster%20Keystone%20Feb%202016.pdf).
