CEO of Oxford Nanopore Technologies

Oxford Nanopore Technologies aim to enable the analysis of any living thing, by any person, in any environment. The world's first and only nanopore DNA
sequencer, the MinION is a portable, real time, long-read, low cost device that has been designed to bring easy biological analyses to anyone, whether in
scientific research, education or a range of real world applications such as disease/pathogen surveillance, environmental monitoring, food chain
surveillance, self-quantification or even microgravity biology. Gordon will talk the about the technology, applications and future direction.
Stuart will talk about the nanopore signal, computational methods and informatics challenges associated with reading DNA directly.
