Session Description 
Over the last decade, the value of saliva as a diagnostic and prognostic tool has become increasingly evident. Most recently, during the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, saliva has been used as a diagnostic tool for detecting SARS-CoV2 infection. Beyond detection of viral infection, saliva can be used to detect cancers and chronic inflammatory conditions, assess mental health status, and more. The expansion of diagnostic and prognostic utility has relied on the identification of disease biomarkers that can be detected in saliva. This session will cover applications for saliva as a diagnostic, prognostic, and disease surveillance tool. Speakers will also discuss innovative techniques for biomarker discovery and the obstacles that remain when translating biomarker identification diagnostic applications.

Learning Objectives
  • Learn about novel applications for and advances in the use of salivary omics as a diagnostic tool
  • Learn about technological advances in biomarker discovery and how that fuels the use of saliva for diagnostic and prognostic purposes
  • Discuss the hurdles to the use of saliva as a diagnostic tool
