Join us for an insightful webinar on cardiac troponins, featuring Dr. Allan Jaffe as the keynote speaker and Dr. Ivan Katrukha as the featured speaker.

Dr. Jaffe will present "Over Thirty Years of Cardiac Troponin – Where Are We Now?" He will discuss the evolution of cardiac troponin assays, highlighting their development, the modern benefits of these assays in patient evaluation, and potential gaps that future research may help fill.

Dr. Katrukha will discuss the main biochemical features of cardiac troponins that have an impact on the high-sensitive measurement of these biomarkers in the samples of patients. He will also talk about new approaches in the immunodetection of troponins that may lead to more specific detection of myocardial infarction.

SPEAKERS:
Professor Allan Jaffe, MD, is a Professor of Medicine at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science. He completed his residency and fellowship training at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, where he rose to Professor of Medicine. In 1995 he became Chief of Cardiology and Associate Chair of Medicine for Academic Affairs at the State University of New York at Syracuse. Thereafter, he was recruited to the Mayo Clinic to work clinically in the area of acute ischemic heart disease and to continue his work on cardiovascular biomarkers in laboratory medicine. He has been awarded the Distinguished Teacher award by the American College of Cardiology, and a career achievement award for his targeted contributions to the laboratory community by the American Association for Clinical Chemistry and the 2024 IFCC award for contributions to cardiovascular diagnostics.

Ivan Katrukha, PhD, Senior researcher in Research & Development, Hytest. Dr.Katrukha has worked in Hytest for 15 years and is specialized in immunodetection of cardiac troponins.
