WYMM Tour: Brisbane
The event was host on 25 July 2024, 09:00 - 16:30 followed by social mixer - Brisbane CBD, Australia
We are happy to share that some of the talks are now available online.
Generate ultra-rich data for answers with impact.
Who says you can’t see it all? With a comprehensive view of structural variants and methylation, nanopore technology powers the bigger and bolder research questions you’ve always wanted to ask.
What you're missing matters. Stay on top of what's next.
Aside from talks ranging from human genomics for rare disease, to sequencing for cancer research, the full-day agenda will include networking breaks, Q&A, product displays, and opportunities to engage with your peers and nanopore experts.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via events@nanoporetech.com.
