Bionano Symposium 2023

Overview

January 23-26, 2023
Bionano Symposium 2023
Virtual Event

Event doors will open at 6:30 AM PT/9:30 AM ET/2:30 PM CET
Event begins at 7:00 AM PT/10:00 AM ET/3:00 PM CET

At Bionano, we’re on a mission to transform the way the world sees the genome. Our genome mapping systems provide sensitive, unbiased, genome-wide structural variant detection, and our genomic analysis software solutions identify and contextualize pathogenic variants from sequencing, array, and optical genome mapping (OGM) data. With these tools, researchers can reveal more genomic variation that matters to human health.

Event Highlights:

Hear from 25+ global experts sharing how they drive discovery across multiple applications with OGM. Learn from presentations, engage in live Q&A, and view posters with the latest scientific research!

Topics include:

Day 1 - Hematological Malignancies
Learn how OGM is revolutionizing the analysis of genomic variation in hematological malignancies. See how researchers are using new tools to find more pathogenic chromosomal aberrations while also simplifying their laboratory workflows.
Day 2 - Solid Tumors
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) alone cannot unlock the genomic information critical to understanding tumor biology. Hear how experts are complementing NGS with OGM to unlock a broader spectrum of genetic variants, generate a more complete cancer genome profile, and discover new actionable biomarkers.
Day 3 - Constitutional Genetic Diseases
Do you want to uncover genetic variation that contributes to rare undiagnosed genetic disease, developmental disorders, and reproductive disorders? Learn how analysis of structural variation is increasing the likelihood of finding actionable pathogenic variants to solve unresolved cases, even after exome sequencing.
Day 4 - Cell Bioprocessing
Whether you are working with producer cell lines, research cell lines, or cell therapy applications, ensuring the genomic integrity and stability of your cell lines is of critical importance. See how OGM can outperform traditional cytogenetic methods so you can easily screen cell lines for genomic instability and off-target events.

Attendance at all sessions of interest is strongly encouraged! Presentations will be available on demand after Symposium 2023 concludes.

Bionano solutions are for Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
