2019 Autumn Meeting

The MD.be Autumn Meeting will focus on Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), both in oncology and microbiology. The morning session will give companies a chance to present their software that can be used for NGS variant classification and interpretation in hemato-oncology. The afternoon session will focus on NGS in the routine microbiological diagnostic laboratory. You can check the final program below or in the PDF files.

Registrations are now open and will close on 21/11/2019. You can register for one or two sessions and please register for lunch if applicable.

Please inform us if you have registered but are no longer available to attend. This gives us the opportunity to order catering for the correct amount of people and avoids food wastage.
