Event overview
Hear about the latest technical updates for Oxford Nanopore Technologies as well as talks from local scientists about their latest work using nanopore technology.
There will also be an opportunity to submit questions throughout the talks, which will be answered in the Q&A sessions following each presentation.
Please note that this is an in-person event.
There is no delegate fee for this event, but registration is required. Your place at this event will be confirmed via email from events@nanoporetech.com.
