London Calling 2022 is now only a week away and we wanted to give you some pointers on how you can get in touch with EPI2ME Labs team both online and in person in the Live Lounge. Some of the team are very excited to be attending their 1st conference in person since before the start of the pandemic and we have our shiny new local bioinformatics platform, “EPI2ME Labs” to show you all. If you’re not attending in person then the team will be available online for the duration of the conference and can be reached through the LC2022 platform.

More information about London Calling 2022, how to register, and the jam packed agenda can be found on the conference website: https://londoncallingconf.co.uk/lc22. Please take a look!

The Team
