Bionano Genomics announces 2024 Symposium

Bionano Genomics announced its 2024 Symposium, the quintessential event for the optical genome mapping community. The event is an opportunity for OGM users to present their progress to the world. 2024 Symposium will feature four consecutive days of OGM presentations delivered by 27 different customers worldwide across a wide range of applications in cancer, cell and gene therapy, and constitutional genetic disease. The Symposium will take place virtually from January 22 to 25, 2024. Each day will feature user presentations, a live panel with Q&A, and scientific posters within the virtual exhibition hall. On day 2, Bionano will unveil a new product expected to advance cytogenetics and structural variant analysis. “At Bionano, we are working to transform the way the world sees the genome,” said Erik Holmlin, PhD, president and chief executive officer of Bionano. “Symposium is our platform event for the community of OGM users to share their experiences with OGM and how it can be used to reveal more answers for research applications. What impresses me most about the lineup for 2024 is the sheer breadth of topics, ranging from the use of OGM in prenatal and postnatal testing, to homologous recombination deficiency analysis in breast cancer and the use of OGM in drug development through cell and gene therapy.”
