8.30 - 13.00
Bringing Next Generation Sequencing to
Your Clinical Lab
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies are increasingly making their way
into clinics in a range of screening applications. While traditional diagnostic
techniques such as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) will remain relevant and
important, many emerging applications require the depth of information NGS can
offer.
Whether you are new to NGS, or familiar with it, we warmly invite you to attend this
seminar on Friday 5th June to learn more about Massively Parallel Sequencing
applications in clinical settings.
We will briefly touch on topics such as sample preparation, sequencing and data
analysis, as well as show some examples of the added values Next Generation
Sequencing will bring to the clinical laboratory.
All presentations will be delivered in English and a coffee break will be provided.
The event will take place in Hospital San Orsola Malpighi - Aula Magna Pediatria ‐
Pad. 10 Pediatria "G. Gozzadini", Via Massarenti 9, 40138 Bologna
We look forward to seeing you in at the seminar.
