Overview

This conference will focus on new research developments and applications of single cell PCR along with presentations covering diagnostic applications in qPCR in pathogen detection. The second part of this conference will cover Next-gen Sequencing, building on the success of our 2013 conference. The latest developments in 3rd generation sequencing technologies will be highlighted and discussed by experts in this field.

The conference will be co-located with Gene Silencing & Epigenetics. Registered delegates will have unrestricted access to all co-located meetings ensuring a comprehensive learning and sharing experience as well as being financially beneficial for attendees.
