London Calling 2023

As is tradition we wanted to let you know how you can connect with the EPI2ME Labs team both online and in person at what is looking like a typically cloudy London Calling 2023. There are some of the same old faces and some brand new ones to help you with your data analysis needs.

Highlights from the team include:

• Chris Wright giving you all a big fat helping of data for breakfast on Friday morning.
• Natalia Garcia, Stephen Rudd and I demoing metagenomics and bacterial genomes in the live lounge on Thursday afternoon.
• Stephen Rudd’s bioinformatics workshop on Wednesday (now sold out).

If you’re not attending in person then some of the team will be available online for the duration of the conference and can be reached through the LC2023 platform.

More information about London Calling 2023, how to register for online attendance (in person is SOLD OUT), and the jam packed agenda can be found on the conference website: https://londoncallingconf.co.uk/lc23. Please take a look!
