Join us for the Future of Omics Conference in Stockholm

Do you want to learn about innovative solutions within Next Generation Sequencing?

On November 4th we are organizing our first Future of Omics Nordic Station at KI in Stockholm. Experience a day with insights from leading experts in the field, engage in discussions and valuable networking. 

The lectures are followed by opportunities for questions, open discussions and exchange of experiences. We end the afternoon with a joint dinner. 

*Participation is free of charge, but in case of ”no show” we charge a fee of SEK 500. 

Welcome with your registration no later than October 20th.
