Next-gen single-cell omics workshop 2024

(Nur auf Englisch) Are you ready to explore the cutting-edge of single-cell technologies and their applications in biomedicine? Then join us for our next-gen single-cell omics workshop! A one-day, single-track event bringing together decision makers from the pharma and biotech industries, clinicians, start-ups, regulatory experts, and research organizations.

You will have the opportunity to network, learn, and collaborate with the best in the business: from decision makers in the pharma and biotech industries to clinicians, start-ups, regulatory experts, and research organizations.

Whether you are interested in discovering new solutions, developing new products, or overcoming new challenges, this workshop is for you. You will learn how single-cell technologies are transforming complex 3D models and tissue studies, enabling a deeper understanding of cell behaviour and function in drug testing, regenerative medicine, and clinical diagnostics. And how to:

Accelerate the translation of emerging solutions into clinical and therapeutical development applications
Develop innovative products or services based on groundbreaking technologies
Overcome barriers associated with the adoption of new methods and technologies in a regulated environment
