The main goal is to provide practical support for real challenges
- Designed for experienced researchers and motivated beginners
- A collaborative space to identify and discuss common challenges, share experiences, protocols, and troubleshooting strategies
- Aiming for problem-solving discussions, knowledge exchange, and the development of practical tips and guidelines to collectively improve Hi-C and HMW DNA extraction techniques
To ensure a smooth and productive workshop, the number of participants will be limited. We encourage early registration, after which we will inquire about your expertise, challenges and case studies examples.
