The 7th Annual Irish Next Generation Sequencing meeting will take place on 1st June 2017 in the Tercentenary Hall, Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute (TBSI). This prestigious event provides a forum for a number of high profile speakers to outline research in all aspects of NGS, ranging from personalised medicine to data management. The meeting is aimed at anyone currently working with next-generation sequencing data, and has been structured to encourage open discussion on current technologies, their applications, associated problems and solutions. Registration is free for non-commercial attendees (please complete the form below or email 'trinseq@gmail.com' for any enquiries) and lunch will also be provided.
