NGS 2014: Next Generation Sequencing, From Technology to Application
Conference - Oxford, United Kingdom
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is rapidly becoming an indispensible and widely used tool in clinical genetics settings, and in academic, pharma and biotech research laboratories. NGS has made the concept of personalised medicine and rapid whole genome queries closer to reality, empowering clinicians to make genetically informed decisions based on concrete data. However, the fast pace of NGS technology development and the emerging new applications and platforms can be daunting, in particular for newcomers to the field.
The 2nd Oxford Next Generation Sequencing event, NGS2014, is aimed at providing a one-stop learning solution to this rapidly evolving technology. NGS2014 will consist of three key components*:
(i) A short, one-day, course component providing an introduction to NGS
(ii) A one-day workshop component providing a hand-on experience to NGS bioinformatics
(iii) A one-and a half-day research and technology conference, where research leaders from clinical, biotech and pharma settings will provide an insight into NGS applications and future directions, providing a broad overview of the field.
