HBN Live Scientific Webinar: Malaria & Whole Genome Mapping under $1000

HBN Live Scientific Webinar: Malaria & Whole Genome Mapping under $1000

HBN proudly presents our first Live Scientific Webinar Event (RSVP NOW)

Hosts: OpGen, Inc. & US Army, WRAIR

Do you have questions about microbial drug resistance factors that your current methods, including next-generation sequencing, cannot answer?
 
Would you like to know about faster and more accurate genomic methods that enable a high definition view of copy number variation and other genetic variation?
 
You're invited to join a live webinar with Captain Matthew Riley, Chief of Genomics for the Multidrug-resistant Organism Repository and Surveillance Network (MRSN) at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research.  Using only OpGen's automated Whole Genome Mapping technology, RIley's group produced high quality maps spanning 14 chromosomes from four Plasmodium falciparum genomes in six weeks for less than $1000 per genome.

Feel free to forward and extend this invitation to your colleagues, peers, and other scientists/researchers who you think may be interested or benefited from this webinar.

 
Topic:New Genetic Variation Discovered in Multi-drug Resistant Plasmodium falciparum Malaria Strain 
Time: Wednesday, November 16, 2011 1:00 PM EST
 
To RSVP: Please click here (http://www.opgen.com/webinar_landing.php). You will receive instruction to attend the online Live Webinar after you register.

See you on November 16th, 1PM EST!
