Having worked with agri-food, biotech and med-tech sectors, EI have a wealth of experience in collaborating with others on developing potential solutions to industrial and societal challenges.
Going virtual this year, EI Innovate will showcase EI’s expertise and capabilities across 3 select areas :
- Disease identification and monitoring – how genomics and bioinformatics are used for disease identification and monitoring, from COVID-19, to AMR to agricultural pathogens.
- Finding a needle in a haystack – Identifying specific targets in health and disease with long read RNA and single cell sequencing.
- Accelerating plant breeding with next generation genetics, genomics and epigenetics.
EI will be sharing examples of existing collaborations and use it as a chance to explore new opportunities. There will also be a chance for participants to promote their work with lightning pitches, and participate in 1-to-1 meetings to network further.
