Join us for a workshop on Standards for Pathogen Detection via Next-Generation Sequencing, on Oct. 27-28, 2015. The purpose of this workshop is to seek input on defining reference materials, reference data and reference methods for assessing analytical sensitivity, specificity, and relative performance of NGS-based pathogen detection devices/assays.
This workshop will be targeted towards the primary users/adopters of these standards; including clinicians, the biosecurity community, public health labs, industry, academics and government laboratories.
