Transcriptomics Symposium
We are pleased to invite you to our very first Transcriptomics Symposium, a one-day meeting dedicated to advances in single-cell, bulk, and spatial transcriptomics.
The program will bring together leading researchers to share recent developments, applications in oncology and drug discovery, and future directions of RNA sequencing technologies. As single-cell sequencing specialists, we will also present our own recent work and innovations. Our goal is to foster a space where researchers can exchange ideas, build connections, and explore opportunities for collaboration.
