MICROFLUIDICS CONGRESS: EUROPE NGS TECH & APPLICATIONS CONGRESS: EUROPE 4-5 December 2017, LONDON 4-5 December 2017, LONDON With a continually expanding range of applications, microfluidics is proving itself a vital field Over the past decade, advances in sequencing technology and significant cost reductions have been in the advancement of human health. This congress brings together experts working in the instrumental to genomics research. Scientists are continuing to develop new sequencing techniques, tools development and application of microfluidic devices, including point-of-care diagnostics, and methods of analysis, and subsequently discovering new applications in medical research. NGS has single cell analysis, lab-on-a-chip applications, droplet microfluidics and next generation already revolutionised the way genomics research is conducted, and with the advent of new methods such microfluidics. With a focus on medical research, this conference will showcase case studies as nanopore, it is an exciting time to be in the field. examining the latest developments in the technologies and techniques advancing medical research in areas as disease monitoring, diagnostics and organ-on-a-chip. 4BIO SUMMIT: 2017 CONGRESS SCHEDULE DAY 1 MONDAY 4TH DECEMBER 2017 NGS TECH & APPLICATIONS qPCR & DIGITAL PCR CONGRESS SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY & GENE EDITING CONGRESS MICROFLUIDICS CONGRESS Conference Summary CONGRESS 08:00-09:00 Registration / Refreshments / Global Engage Welcome Address and Morning Chair’s Opening Remarks Keynote Address: Keynote Address: Keynote Address: Keynote Address: 09:00-09:40 09:00-9:40 09:00-9:40 Agenda Overview Applying PCR methods for improved diagnostics – Title TBC Improving Bio Design Reliability and Reproducibly through Optical Tools for Ultra High- 09:05-9:40 Title TBC Yiu-Lian Fong, Global Head of Diagnostic Innovation, Janssen the use of Foundries Throughput Cellular Analysis Richard McCombie, and Johnson & Johnson Innovation, UK Richard Kitney, Professor of BioMedical Systems Engineering, Andrew de Mello, Professor Professor, Cold Spring Imperial College London of Biochemical Engineering Harbor Laboratory, USA Sponsors & Chairman, ETH Zurich Keynote Address: Keynote Address: Keynote Address: Keynote Address: 09:00-10:15 09:40-10:15 09:40-10:15 09:40-10:15 Digital PCR for high accuracy measurement of DNA Strategies for the future: the research and commercial Microfluidic platforms to Recent progress in Venue Reference Materials landscape – Title TBC study gas-liquid interactions genomics Kerry Emslie, Senior Research Scientist, National Lionel Clark Eugenia Kumacheva, Mostafa Ronaghi, Senior Measurement Institute, Australia Co-chair of the Synthetic Biology Leadership Council Professor, University of Vice President & Chief qPCR & Digital PCR Toronto Technology Officer, Illumina Congress Solution Provider Presentation: Solution Provider Presentation: Solution Provider Presentation: Solution Provider Presentation: Synthetic Biology Single Cell Analysis with the Naica System Title TBC True lab-on-a-chip Title TBC 10:15-10:45 & Gene Editing 10:15-10:45 Alexandra Martin, Application Specialist, Stilla Technologies 10:15-10:45 Senior Representative, Takara 10:15-10:45 devices: Complexity and Xiangyu Rao, NGS Field Congress Manufacturing challenges Application Manager, Holger Becker, Co-founder Europe, Integrated DNA and CSO, microfluidic ChipShop Technologies Microfluidics GmbH Congress 10:45-11:55 Morning Refreshments / Even Numbered Poster Presentation Sessions / One-to-One Partnering Meetings NGS Tech & Applications Congress Digital PCR: Possibilities qPCR: Strategies & Genomic Applications of Synthetic Biology Strategy and Technology NGS Tech & Applications & Opportunities Developments Engineering in Healthcare & Research in Microfluidics Congress’ Track Chair: Track Chair: 4BIO Registration Gary Pestano Marie Korabecna, Vice President, Development Associate Professor, Charles and Operations, Biodesix University, Czech Republic Prospects for digital PCR Optimized design of Engineering orthogonal Rational Design and Droplet based microfluidic Bioelectronics in absolute quantification broadly detecting qPCR synthetic timer circuits in Redesign of Natural applications in applications with of DNA and RNA Primers and Probes bacteria Product Pharmaceuticals biotechnology (TBC) nanostructures 11:55-12:20 11:55-12:20 Ward De Spiegelaere, 11:55-12:20 using a conservation and 11:55-12:20 Georg Fritz, Independent 11:55-12:20 Paul Race, Senior Lecturer, Dave Weitz, Mallinckrodt 11:55-12:20 Marija Drndic, Fay R.
