Oxford Nanopore at ESHG 2026
Oxford Nanopore will be at the ESHG Conference at Booth 310 in June, 2026, hosted in Gothenburg. We will also host a Corporate Session on Monday, 15 June. See additional details below.
Corporate Session
Simplify without compromise: ask more of your workflow
Date: Monday, 15 June
Time: 12:15-13:30 hrs CEST
Location: Room A-3
Oxford Nanopore sequencing brings together comprehensive genetic variant and methylation detection, in one go. For complex disease research where scale is required, our simplified workflow means multi‑layered biological insights are being uncovered in thousands of samples, revealing more biology to transform human health. In this session, Dr Kathy Stirrups will share her work on eating disorders and show that multiomic analysis can be used to identify new variants and their function, deciphering mechanisms of disease that have the potential to be a target for treatment. She will also present results from the rare disease cohort in the NIHR-BioResource. The data-rich results not only build a foundation to better understand rare diseases, but also show the potential for diagnostic yield to improve in the future. Dr Koen Van Gassen will present how their laboratory at the Department of Genetics, University Medical Center in Utrecht, is implementing Oxford Nanopore whole-genome sequencing into their work. They are exploring whether this approach provides an opportunity to streamline multiple assays into a single test, reducing complexity, time, and costs.
Join us at our workshop to hear more from these speakers and learn about our updated solutions for human genomic analysis.
