The Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) meeting is off and running on Marco Island, FL. And this year is the 25th anniversary! Julianna LeMieux, PhD, Deputy Editor-in-Chief at GEN is on the ground—in the talks, visiting suites, and at the coffee hours. Here, she takes a moment to fill in Kevin Davies, PhD, GEN’s Editorial Director on the latest news from the first day at the meeting.
LeMieux talks about the opening session, including a talk by David Altshuler, MD, PhD, CSO of Vertex Pharmaceuticals and a cameo by President Bill Clinton. She also shares industry insights from companies like Illumina, Bruker, and Pixelgen.
