Revolutionizing Next-Generation Sequencing (3rd edition)
After two successful editions (Jan 2015, Leuven and March 2017, Antwerp), VIB is proud to present the third edition of this Tools & Technologies conference.
VIB believes that the revolutionary discoveries enabled by NGS are not yet at its zenith and that the technology can go much further. During this 3rd edition VIB will bring together over 30 top scientists and technology developers from both industry and academia. They will discuss emerging tools and approaches in several sessions such as:
- Long reads, Genome Structure and Mapping
- Epigenomics
- Metagenomics
- Emerging technologies
- Population Scale and Clinical Sequencing
- Single Cell Sequencing
In addition to a great scientific and technology program, the conference will provide ample opportunities to network during the breaks, poster sessions and the conference dinner.
Also young scientists are encouraged to showcase their own work to the international research community by oral or poster presentation!
Conference dinner = SOLD OUT!
Information for poster submissions:
The format for your poster should be: A0 (841 x 1189 mm / 33.1 x 46.8 in), portrait orientation
Nanopore Day Antwerp
The conference will be followed by the Nanopore Day Antwerp on Wednesday 27 March 2019, an initiative from Oxford Nanopore Technologies, with CTO Clive Brown who is speaking on Monday 25 March .
Nanopore Days are an opportunity for people to hear the latest tech updates from Oxford Nanopore as well as hearing from local users about their latest projects using nanopore sequencing. The Nanopore Day in Antwerp will also include product display and a technical Q&A with the Nanopore team. The agenda of the day is yet to be confirmed.
