2nd Annual Oxford Global Single Cell Genomics and Transcriptomics Asia Congress 2014

Oxford Global Con­fer­ences Ltd are proud to present the 2^nd Annual Sin­gle Cell Genomics and Tran­scrip­tomics Asia Con­gress 2014, tak­ing place on the 7th and 8th of Octo­ber, 2014 in Sin­ga­pore.

Thanks to the advances in NGS and whole genome ampli­fi­ca­tion tech­nol­ogy, sci­en­tists can begin to uncover and analyse the dif­fer­ences between sin­gle cells. Researchers are clear that these dif­fer­ences have cru­cial impli­ca­tions for our health, how we are affected by dis­ease and our response to med­i­cine. This two day con­gress will bring together experts from Asia, Aus­trala­sia, Europe and the USA to dis­cuss how to fully exploit the poten­tial of sin­gle cell analysis.

Day 1 of the event cov­ers all aspects of sin­gle cell genomics, with oppor­tu­ni­ties to dis­cuss such issues as how to improve the length and accu­racy of tran­scrip­tome assem­bly and elim­i­nate sta­tis­ti­cal noise from analy­sis. There will also be case stud­ies demon­strat­ing the util­ity of sin­gle cell analy­sis in diag­nos­tics, with a focus on can­cer and tumour research.

Day 2 will see our expert speak­ers dis­cussing the lat­est inno­va­tions in sin­gle cell analy­sis tech­nol­ogy. Pre­sen­ta­tions will cover all stages of the sin­gle cell analy­sis work­flow, includ­ing sam­ple prepa­ra­tion tech­nol­ogy, improved meth­ods for sin­gle cell iso­la­tion, reduc­ing the foot­print of analy­sis instru­ments and improved cell imag­ing and data visu­al­iza­tion technology.

Day 1 – Sin­gle Cell Genomics

• Sin­gle cell transcriptomics
  • Non-​coding and anti­sense expressed transcripts
  • Achiev­ing full length tran­scrip­tome assembly
  • Elim­i­nat­ing sta­tis­ti­cal noise from sin­gle cell analysis
  • Demon­strat­ing the diag­nos­tic util­ity of sin­gle cell analysis
  • Sin­gle cell analy­sis case stud­ies: cir­cu­lat­ing tumour cells and can­cer stem cells

Day 2 – Sin­gle Cell Analy­sis Technologies

• Improved meth­ods for sin­gle cell isolation
• Novel sin­gle cell analy­sis technology

• Bioin­for­mat­ics
• Bio­mark­ers
• Epi­ge­net­ics
• Flow cytom­e­try
• Metabolomics
• Micro­bial genomics
• Microflu­idics
• Next gen­er­a­tion sequencing
• Pro­teomics
• Sin­gle cell analysis
• Sin­gle cell genomics
• Sin­gle cell imaging
• Tran­scrip­tomics
• Whole genome sequencing

Sub­mit a poster

For atten­dees inter­ested in sub­mit­ting a poster, there are oppor­tu­ni­ties now avail­able. Your poster pre­sen­ta­tion will be located in the exhi­bi­tion room for two days along­side other posters from senior sci­en­tists from the phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal indus­try and aca­d­e­mic institutions.

How to sub­mit your abstract

We will require:

• Poster title, Abstract (200 words or less)
• Prin­ci­pal author, Organisation
• Mail­ing address, Email, Tele­phone, Fax
• Addi­tional authors

In order to secure your board space a fee of $250 SGD will be required. The poster should be pre­sented as A0 (841mm x 1189mm) por­trait size.

To take advan­tage of this oppor­tu­nity you need to be reg­is­tered as a paid del­e­gate over the 2 days. We have lim­ited spaces avail­able, so please reg­is­ter soon!
