Advanced course on long-read sequencing and medical genomics

oktoober 2 |08:30 - 18:00
Location: O&N4 Auditorium 04.330, ON4 Herestraat 49 , 3000 Leuven. See O&N4 location here .
Date: 2 October 2025
Time: 8:30–18:00 (CET)
This intensive, one-day course provides an in-depth exploration of long-read sequencing technologies and their transformative applications in medical genomics. Participants will gain valuable insights from leading experts, including cutting-edge techniques for analysing long-read data, clinical applications in rare diseases and cancer genomics, and the use of multi-omics approaches in complex disorders. Check the preliminary agenda here.

Organised as a collaborative effort between the EU-funded project EASIGEN-DS (Design Study for a Research Infrastructure on Advanced Genomics Technologies, Grant Agreement No 101187908) and KU Leuven as part of the Flemish inter-university course for the Support of Young Researchers (Omkadering van Jonge Onderzoekers), this course provides an advanced overview of long-read sequencing technologies and their application in medical genomics. This course is targeted at PhD students, postdocs, and researchers from European academic institutions with a keen interest in human genomics, the course provides an exceptional opportunity to deepen your understanding of cutting-edge sequencing techniques and their impact on clinical and research settings.

Registration is compulsory and free of charge for academic attendees.

The course can be attended either in person or remotely. Final agenda will be shared before the course.
