Twist NGS Afternoon Tea — Christchurch

Join Decode Science for an engaging afternoon tea at the University of Canterbury, focused on how Twist Bioscience's NGS solutions are transforming sequencing workflows across genomics, molecular biology, and translational research.

This session will highlight Twist Bioscience's full NGS toolkit — spanning exome and custom target-capture panels, methylation sequencing, long-read library preparation, and RNA/MRD sequencing — designed to support everything from high-resolution variant detection and methylation profiling to long-read genome assembly and streamlined library prep. Learn how these flexible, purpose-built solutions can offer deeper coverage and more precise targeting than off-the-shelf panels, empowering labs to design exactly the sequencing workflow their research needs.

Whether you're exploring methylation biomarkers, building a custom NGS panel, scaling up long-read sequencing, or troubleshooting your library prep protocol, this session will offer practical insights into how Twist's NGS solutions can streamline your research. Twist Bioscience's NGS expert, Adam Werner, will be on hand throughout to talk through what's on your bench.
