Group Futurista presents "Future of Next-Generation Sequencing for Life Sciences" Virtual Summit

TALLINN, Estonia - Oct. 5, 2021 - PRLog -- Group Futurista, the leading global events company, has announced its "Future of Next-Generation Sequencing for Life Sciences" Virtual Summit on 6th October 2021 at 15:00 BST/10:00 EST. It will be a unique platform with 150+ attendees, interesting knowledge sessions, and an intuitive panel discussion between all the amazing speakers discussing the massively parallel sequencing technology known as Next-generation sequencing (NGS) that has revolutionized the biological sciences.

NGS has also been applied increasingly in cancer genomics research over the past decade. More recently, NGS has been adopted in clinical oncology to advance the personalized treatment of cancer. NGS has also been used actively during the COVID-19 pandemic in monitoring changes to the SARS-CoV-2 genome.

Access to the summit is free and we would like to mention our Media partner for the event, MDPI as well as our Platinum Sponsors 10XGenomics, Illumina, LevitasBio, Agilent Technologies, PGDx, Gold Sponsors, NEW ENGLAND Bio Labs, Mission Bio, and Purigen BioSystems and our silver sponsor PerkinElmer.
