2020 Advanced Genomic Technology Development Meeting

Event Details

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) hosted the virtual Advanced Genomic Technology Development Meeting, on May 27-29, 2020. The purpose of the virtual meeting series is to provide an open forum to discuss key scientific and technical challenges faced with advanced sequencing and genomic technologies. The meeting will bring together NHGRI Genomic Technology Program grantees, other scientists, and engineers who have insights that could synergistically help to develop a broad suite of novel methods. Activities are designed to update fellow grantees and NHGRI about progress in the field and specific funded projects, facilitate collaborations, and provide a forum that effectively serves the entire set of participants, who range from grant investigators to trainees.
