Biography: Matthias Scherf is Managing Director of Genomatix Software GmbH. He studied informatics and did his Ph.D. and post-doctoral work at the GSF (Gesellschaft für Umwelt und Gesundheitsforschung) in Munich. He joined Genomatix in the year 2000, first as Head of Research in Bioinformatics and since 2009 as Managing Director. Genomatix offers solutions and services for the entire course of sequence analysis from first level mapping to integrating multiple results with copious high-quality data background. Their technologies for visualisation and interpretation enable scientists worldwide to turn their data into meaningful results.
About the Conference:
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has expanded our fundamental understanding of genomics, mutation, gene function and regulation, by delivering fast, precise, and large volumes of data. As the cost of sequencing declines, use in academic, biotech, medical, pharmaceutical, and ag-bio labs expands, paving the way for the creation of innovative new areas for bioresearch. Still, the question remains of how best to balance cost, quantity and quality when choosing a sequencing platform or service. Cambridge Healthtech Institute's NGx: Applying Next-Generation Sequencing investigates the expanding applications of NGS. Learn from experienced researchers from large sequencing centers, core laboratories, and specialized groups as they share their practical knowledge, real-world experiences and solutions.
