VIB and LifeTime are proud to announce the first edition of Emerging Technologies in Single Cell Research, or SingleCell20 in short, taking place on 19-20 November 2020. This is at the same time VIB’s first virtual conference.
Given the current situation, the VIB Conferences team has explored the market for platforms to give attendees, speakers, and exhibitors a qualitative virtual conference experience with the same features as a live event. This means that the virtual environment should allow the exchange of cutting-edge research, to ask questions to speakers, to interact remotely with peers and to discuss posters during the online poster sessions.
As Single Cell Technologies are opening extraordinary opportunities to address today’s medical challenges, the organizing committee has put together pioneering topics which will make for an outstanding program. There will be sessions on single cell epigenomics, multi-omics, spatial omics, machine learning and more.
