6. - 9. November 2023, Freiburg (Germany)

Black Forest Nanopore Meeting

The meeting will bring together scientists and engineers from multiple disciplines who are engaged in exploiting the huge potential of nanopore technologies. A special focus is dedicated to advancing approaches in single molecule protein sequencing, the analysis of epigenetic modifications, and their prospective integration into diagnostic workflows relevant to personalized and precision medicine. The nanopore meeting is intended to foster early interaction between the multiple disciplines required for successful transition of these approaches into clinical practice. Scientific talks and posters are completed by an industrial forum reflecting the state of the commercial activities emanating from the field.

The conference is organized by the cluster nanodiag BW.

The historical city of Freiburg serves as stage of several social events as e.g. culinary conference dinner and guided tours to discover the historical town and its lovely vineyards.
