The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and the Technology Development Coordinating Center (TDCC) invite you to a three-part webinar series featuring distinguished leaders in genome science and technology development. Rapid advances in genomic analysis have increased the efficiency, accuracy, and depth of biological discovery, and these improvements are driven by innovative approaches in spatial profiling, single-cell genomics, functional genomics, and genome organization.
This series brings together experts whose research continues to expand the frontiers of genome technology. The sessions are designed for postsecondary students, postdoctoral fellows, and biomedical researchers who are seeking a deeper understanding of how emerging tools are developed, applied, and refined. Each event includes scientific presentations and a roundtable discussion that examines current capabilities, ongoing challenges, and future opportunities in genome technology innovation. Recordings of previous TDCC outreach events can be found on our YouTube Channel (www.youtube.com/@genometdcc/).
