Evening reception
Celebrating a decade of DNA discoveries: 10 years of the MinION in microbiology
Date: Friday, June 14th, 2024
Time: 6:30 – 9:00 pm ET
Location: Omni Atlanta Hotel at Centennial Park, International Ballroom A/B
Join us for an insightful session as we mark the 10-year anniversary of the launch of the MinION and celebrate the journey of early pioneers and innovators of nanopore sequencing in the microbiology community. We will hear from distinguished speakers who have been trailblazers in developing and implementing nanopore sequencing over the years for a range of applications, from real-time outbreak response, to generating perfecting bacterial genome assemblies, to veterinary microbiome profiling, and expanding viral genomic surveillance capacity globally. Speakers will present key findings from their research, offering valuable insights into MinION's transformative role in microbiology. Following the presentations, we will engage in a panel discussion with live Q&A, where experts will share their experiences and perspectives on driving new sequencing methods and strategies over the years. Don't miss this opportunity to celebrate a decade of transformative DNA discoveries with nanopore sequencing.
