UMN Nanopore Day

What You're Missing Matters (WYMM) Tour

Generate ultra-rich data for answers with impact. With a comprehensive view of structural variants and methylation, nanopore technology powers the bigger and bolder research questions you’ve always wanted to ask.​​

Join Oxford Nanopore on Thursday, March 21st, at the McNamara Alumni Center to hear from local experts who are using nanopore technology to break new ground in human genomics.​​​

Aside from talks ranging from human genomics for rare diseases to sequencing for cancer research, the full-day agenda will include networking breaks, Q&A, product displays, and opportunities to engage with your peers and nanopore experts.

Please note that this is an in-person event.

Date: Thursday, March 21^st, 2024
Time: 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Location: McNamara Alumni Center
