Revolutionizing Next-Generation Sequencing (6th edition)
After 5 very successful editions (Jan 2015 in Leuven, March 2017 in Antwerp, March 2019 in Antwerp, March 2021 virtual, and March 23 in Ghent), VIB is proud to present the sixth edition of this flagship Tools & Technologies conference.
It is impressive to see how fast the sequencing field has evolved since the launch of this series. This VIB conference is designed to be a dynamic forum for sharing cutting-edge developments, exploring novel applications, and fostering collaborations that will drive the next wave of genomic advancements.
During 2,5 days, experts from academia and industry give a glimpse into the future of next-generation sequencing technology and show real-world applications that promise to transform healthcare, agriculture, environmental science, and beyond.
The following topics will be discussed:
- Advances in sequencing: bridging technology and biology
- Next-Generation Sequencing: a data-driven revolution
- From ancient DNA to novel sequencing tools
- Disruptive sequencing in science and medicine
- One sequence at a time: modern aspects of functional genomics
