Opens September 29 and 30, 2020

Applied Biosystems Genetic Analysis Virtual Conference

Due to the fact that many large events and scientific conferences have been cancelled, we want to provide you with an outlet to present your research and learn from others in our community.

 

A key to scientific exploration is not just getting answers, it’s about formulating the right questions that will make a difference in the world. We want to inspire you to ask questions that make a difference. Because the most important thing you can do is ask another question. Without constant questioning, world-changing discoveries cannot be found.

 

To this end, we are excited to announce our Applied Biosystems Genetic Analysis Virtual Conference. This is a virtual, online event occurring on September 29-30, 2020, and serves as an opportunity for you to engage with us and other scientists, and to Ask.

 

We are bringing together experts to present talks and posters across a broad range of genetic analysis fields, including:

  • Viral testing and molecular diagnostics

  • Infectious disease research

  • Clinical oncology and Cancer research

  • Reproductive health and Inherited disease research

  • Polygenic risk scores and Population health

  • Pharmacogenomics research

  • Agrigenomics and Animal health

 

We will also have an Ask an Expert lounge, instrument demonstration hall, and exhibit hall that will showcase our platform technologies such as real-time PCR, next-generation and Sanger sequencing, and microarray analysis. In addition to insights gained in these fields, continuing education credits will be offered to those presentations that qualify.
