2021 Novogene European NGS Forum
Welcome to the 2021 Novogene European NGS Forum. This October we bring the Next Generation Sequencing community together for a series of educational and inspirational presentations by leading researchers. This year we have added additional scientific presentations to help reflect the breadth and depth of some of the ground-breaking science we’ve helped facilitate across Europe.
Whilst we’ve increased the scientific content we know you're busy so we’ll be keeping the same concise format. The forum will run over two mornings from 9:00am – 12:15pm BST. Day 1 will focus on plant and animal research, day 2 on human research. The forum will be held online so you’ll be able to access from the comfort of your desk. There is no cost to attend the forum and it’s open to everyone.
Novogene NGS Forum: Wednesday 20th and Thursday 21st October 9:00am - 12:15pm BST
