An evening of scientific presentations and sake tasting

Join us for an inspiring evening of Sake and Science at BioMed Realty, 650 East Kendall St, Cambridge, MA on October 24, 2024. Reserve your spot; limited space is available!

Sip on sake, enjoy sushi and hors d'oeuvres, and learn about new technologies and approaches that capture unmatched insights into cellular function and dysfunction.

We are excited to introduce our new Shasta high-throughput single-cell NGS technologies and our long-read sequencing technology for detecting isoforms and gene fusions. Our esteemed guest speakers will share their experiences elucidating adipose cellular heterogeneity and mapping RNA interactions with splicing modulating compounds.

Want to showcase your research during the poster session? Please submit your abstract (up to 500 words) in the field provided while registering. The deadline for submission is October 17.

Featured talks

Drive biomarker discovery with a new high-throughput single-cell genome and transcriptome profiling system

In this talk, Dr. Andrew Farmer, CSO and Head of R&D at Takara Bio USA, Inc., speaks about innovative Shasta NGS technologies and bioinformatics tools that make it easy to discover novel biomarkers.

Cellular heterogeneity of subcutaneous adipose tissue in older adults

In this talk, Dr. Cheehoon Ahn, Postdoctoral Research Associate at the AdventHealth Translational Research Institute, speaks about adopting a full-length single-nuclei RNA-seq approach to study the link between adipose tissue cell types and health traits in older adults.

Transcriptome-wide profiling of small molecule-RNA engagement in cells using splicing modulating photo-affinity probes

In this talk, Dr. Raven Shah, Discovery Postdoctoral Scholar at the Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research, speaks about a new approach for mapping RNA interactomes of splicing modulating probes that can be broadly applied for unbiased profiling of the ligandable transcriptome.

Sneak peek into low-input long-read sequencing with ONT technology

In this talk, Dr. Lisa Welter, Staff Scientist at Takara Bio USA, Inc., speaks about the use of the latest low-input RNA-seq kit from Takara Bio for ONT long-read sequencing and detection of unique biomarkers like splicing isoforms.
