In turn, spatial biology, single-cell, and proteomics are fueling exciting advances in biology. The rapidly declining cost of whole-genome sequencing is empowering researchers to ask questions that were beyond reach just a few years ago. In The State of Multiomics & NGS virtual summit—sponsored exclusively by Illumina—GEN invites you to watch a superb line-up of presenters covering key topics in the world of multiomics, spatial biology, and NGS. This year’s summit features a broad selection of talks and panel discussions from renowned experts that offers our audience rich insights into the latest NGS platforms, spatial biology applications in neurodegenerative diseases and cell biology, and a critical look at data management challenges and solutions.Among the highlights are:A keynote presentation from Miranda Orr, PhD, on the use of spatial biology in studying Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseasesA deep dive into the latest NGS platforms and applications with veteran genomics analysts Keith Robison, PhD, and Shawn Baker, PhDModeling the proteome architecture of human cells with Noorsher Ahmed, PhD (Lundberg lab)Chris Dwan on data management strategies for multiomicsAnd a sponsored breakout conversation featuring Illumina’s chief medical officer, Eric Green, MD, PhD, and cancer biologist Bodour Salhia, PhD (USC)We look forward to seeing you on April 29. Registration is absolutely free! !Guest Speakers IncludeThe post The State of Multiomics & NGS appeared first on GEN – Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News.
