The symposium will take place across two days (20-21 June 2026). There will be 3 plenary sessions.

Plenary Session 1 - Advances in Immunoassay Technologies and Laboratory Automation

This session introduces participants to key developments in immunoassay technologies and laboratory automation that underpin routine diagnostic testing. It focuses on improvements in assay performance, analytical quality, workflow efficiency, and the integration of automation into clinical laboratories. The session is educational in nature, linking technological innovation to practical laboratory application.

Plenary Session 2 - Diagnostics for Non-Communicable Diseases: From Screening to Monitoring

This session explores the role of diagnostics in managing non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which pose a significant health burden in Brunei Darussalam and the region. It highlights how laboratory testing supports early detection, risk stratification, and long-term disease monitoring. The plenary combines national clinical and policy perspectives with insights from diagnostic technology, emphasising the link between laboratory data and patient care.

Plenary Session 3 - Laboratory Quality, Standards and Workforce Development

This session focuses on the systems and people that support reliable diagnostic services. Topics include laboratory quality assurance, accreditation, professional standards, and workforce training and sustainability. The session underscores the importance of maintaining high standards and developing a future-ready laboratory workforce to support evolving diagnostic technologies.
