Bionano Genomics 2022 Symposium

Event doors will open at 7:30am PT, 10:30am ET.  Event begins at 8:00am PT, 11:00am ET

Bionano Genomics is transforming the way the world sees the genome. As a leading provider of genomic analysis solutions, we enable researchers and clinicians to reveal answers to challenging genomic questions. By detecting structural variants using optical genome mapping (OGM), researchers are able to answer genomic questions that were previously unanswered.

Event Highlights:

At the Bionano Genomics 2022 Symposium, you will hear from over 25 customers around the world who will showcase their findings and answers using OGM. Each day will feature customer presentations, a live panel with Q&A, as well as poster presentations by topic area.

Topics include:

Monday, January 10: Constitutional Cytogenomics

Tuesday, January 11: Hematologic Malignancies

Wednesday, January 12: Solid Tumors

Thursday, January 13: OGM + NGS

Even though each day is topic specific, we encourage you to attend all days and sessions that interest you. All presentations will be recorded and available on demand after the symposium concludes.
