THE STATE OF MULTIOMICS & NGS

April 23, 2025

11:00 AM – 3:30 PM ET

2025 marks the 25th anniversary of the first declaration of the Human Genome Project. The 'omics' field has advanced spectacularly since then, fueled by the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and related technologies such as proteomics and spatial biology. So where does this leave us?

In GEN's The State of Multiomics & NGS virtual summit, we proudly host a magnificent group of talented researchers from industry and academia discussing key topics including spatial proteomics (the Nature Methods 2024 'Method of the Year'), single-cell biology, spatial omics, and perspectives on the stunning pace of NGS technology advancement and progress in genomic medicine. In addition, the summit will include breakout sessions from our sponsors and plenty of live audience discussion.

Highlights of the agenda include:

• An exclusive interview with Francis Collins, MD PhD, former director of the NIH, director of the Human Genome Project, and author of The Road to Wisdom  
• A keynote conversation with the CEO of Illumina, Jacob Thaysen, PhD
• Single-cell and gene expression genomics with Sarah Teichmann, PhD (Wellcome Sanger Institute)
• A roundtable on spatial proteomics featuring Cecilia Lindskog, PhD (Uppsala Univ.) and Fabian Coscia, PhD (Max Delbrück Center)
• A rare interview with Clive Brown, the former chief technology officer of Oxford Nanopore Technologies
• Breakout sessions hosted and organized by the summit sponsors – Illumina, Sampled, Scale Biosciences, and Standard BioTools.

Registration as always is free! Please join us on April 23 for The State of Multiomics & NGS.
