CADDA Annual Conference – 15th September 2026 – Manchester Institute of Biotechnology

Join us for a stimulating meeting programme with exceptional industrial/academic speakers covering the entire spectrum of diagnostics.

We have designed a stimulating meeting programme with exceptional industrial/academic speakers covering the entire spectrum of diagnostics – from development to application and adoption to PoC. As well as short presentations from our exemplar projects, we will provide updates on our CKTV funded projects. Throughout the day there will also be a focussed workshop and a topical panel session covering new and exciting developments and challenges in the diagnostic field.

Built for networking, this meeting is a great chance to connect and showcase your work. We encourage you to present a poster – there will be a poster prize, and a number of bursaries are available for Early Career Researchers*. So please share this with any ECRs colleagues who might not be members of CADDA but would benefit from attending the conference.

Sessions include:

Session 1 – Current big areas of diagnostics

Session 2 – Working models and scenarios

Session 3 – Translational from idea to diagnostic product
