We have put together an intriguing agenda featuring our special guest, Dr. Tim Hunkapiller, presenting “The $1,000 Genome – What Will It Mean, What Will It Take, and When Will it Happen?”. Dr. Hunkapiller has been a pioneering presence in computational biotechnology since its infancy 30 years ago and is co-inventor of the largest selling analytical research instrument in the world: the Perkin Elmer/Applied Biosystems DNA sequencer.
 
We will also present a number of Microsoft technologies that are directly relevant to Life Science discovery and development. This event is an opportunity to understand how the current generation of Microsoft technology can accelerate the discovery process. Seating is limited so please register early to guarantee your place.
