2019 Advanced Genomic Technology Development Meeting

Event Details

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) hosted the Advanced Genomic Technology Development Meeting at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, on May 29 - 31, 2019. The purpose of the meeting was to provide an open forum on key scientific and technical challenges to advancing a broad set of genomic technologies including those for nucleic acid sequencing.  The meeting brought together NHGRI Genomic Technology Program grantees and other scientists and engineers who had insights that would help to achieve the goal of sequencing human genomes at high quality for much less than $1,000, and develop a broad suite of new genomic technologies.
