The registrations are open for QIAGEN’s live virtual Investigator Forum — Australia.
On 4th November 2020, we will be welcoming you to our live event streamed to the Asia Pacific region. At this one-day event, you’ll feel that you are present with us. You can participate in interesting talks on new and emerging technologies in forensics and human identification. Discover new NGS applications in human identification and learn about the power of SNP mutation analysis. We will discuss interesting examples from the field and introduce QIAGEN’s sample collection portfolio.
Cut the travel time and engage in live conversations with presenters and experts from wherever you are. Find the educational corner to browse through tutorials and literature. Visit the activity corner to participate in some games. Meet some of the speakers in the networking area.
Simply register free of charge, log in on the day and step into the QIAGEN world to connect and learn.
Here’s a sneak peek of our key sessions so that you can tailor it to your schedule on the day.
