A truly unique event for the NGS community<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

For two days, the EMBL conference venue was filled with science, networking, and inspiration. The NGS Innovation Summit brought together around 200 participants from 17 countries, all united by one powerful application: Next Generation Sequencing.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”49905″ img_size=”500x394px” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1759931999857{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 35px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1759935660505{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”]With 20 internationally renowned speakers, the summit delivered a high-level scientific program covering a diverse range of topics, including Epigenetics, Human Genetics, Clinical Diagnostics, Surveillance Sequencing, RNA Sequencing and much more.<\/p>\n

The networking opportunities were lively used to make valuable connections among like-minded scientists and leading minds in the European NGS community. Alongside NEB, 10 partner companies were on-site, for exciting discussions about the latest tools, platforms, and automation solutions.[\/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html css=”.vc_custom_1759931593434{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}”]JTNDdmlkZW8lMjB3aWR0aCUzRCUyMjUwMCUyMiUyMGhlaWdodCUzRCUyMjM3OCUyMiUyMGNvbnRyb2xzJTIwY29udHJvbHNMaXN0JTNEJTIybm9kb3dubG9hZCUyMiUzRSUwQSUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMCUzQ3NvdXJjZSUyMHNyYyUzRCUyMmh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGd3d3Lm5lYi1vbmxpbmUuZGUlMkZsaXRlcmF0dXIlMkZ2aWRlbyUyRk5HUy1TdW1taXQtUmVjYXBfbWlkLm1wNCUyMiUyMHR5cGUlM0QlMjJ2aWRlbyUyRm1wNCUyMiUzRSUwQSUzQyUyRnZpZGVvJTNF[\/vc_raw_html][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1759926165624{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 35px !important;padding-bottom: 35px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1759931904336{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”]The feedback was overwhelming, and we thank everyone for their engagement that made this event truly exceptional. <\/strong>We\u2019re already looking forward to reconnecting at the next NGS Innovation Summit in 2027!<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1759931886401{padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #E7EEED !important;}”]\u201cThe summit was an exhilarating blend of scientific innovation and social interaction, arguably making it one of the most engaging events I’ve ever participated in.<\/em>
\nThe chance to speak directly with the brilliant minds behind various assays was invaluable. I gained insights and practical tips to enhance our work’s efficiency and impact.<\/em>
\nEvents like these are a reminder of the vibrant, collaborative spirit that drives our field forward. I’m already looking forward to the next one!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
