Biomarker Reference Labs Subcommittee Call

Thursday, June 18, 2026

Present: Andrew Hoofnagle (Chair), Martin Stengelin (Co-chair), Bill Bulman, Daniel Chan, Rob Christenson, Sidney Fu, Jim Herman, William Hsu, Indu Kohaar, Tao Liu, Royce Malnik, Guillermo Marquez, Anu Mathew,  Hua-Jun He, Mike Palazzolo, Harvey Pass, Christos Patriotis, Leopoldo Segal, Steve Skates, Lori Sokoll, Stefani Thomas, James Tsay, Mingyue Wang, Wendy Wang, Lanbo Xiao, Cecilia Yeung, Hui Zhang

Discussion: After much discussion, the group decided that since there are no funds for any projects beyond the scope of work for each BCC that the BRL’s are under, that future meetings will consist of presentations from 2 BRLs—each presentation should be around 20 minutes each.  The BRLs can either provide an update on their current EDRN projects or invite someone of their choosing to present to the group.

This is the presentation schedule:
