Oxford Nanopore at ESCMID Global 2025
ESCMID Global is one of the largest and foremost congresses in the field of infection and the comprehensive programme is a collaboration built by the ESCMID Global Programme Committee (EPC), ESCMID entities and partners and industry sponsors.
Oxford Nanopore will have a booth in the exhibit hall, and will host a Sundowner Symposium on Monday, 14th April, 2025. Session details to come soon!
Sundowner Symposium
Unlocking rapid, comprehensive pathogen genomics with real-time nanopore sequencing
Date: Monday, 14th April, 2025
Time: 16:15 - 17:45 CET
Location: TBC
This session will explore how nanopore sequencing is transforming the clinical microbiology and public health landscape by providing rapid, decentralized, and comprehensive pathogen genomics solutions. From the ability to generate complete whole-genome sequencing of microbial isolates, to the agnostic detection of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes directly from samples, nanopore sequencing offers cost-effective, timely, and automatable sample-to-answer workflows. These innovative capabilities tackle key challenges such as uncovering hidden outbreaks, tracking plasmid transmission, and identifying potential drug resistance within hours. The session will feature experts applying nanopore technology for outbreak detection, pathogen identification, and AMR profiling, showcasing how real-time genomics can deliver actionable insights faster than traditional methods, potentially advancing precision medicine, and improving responses to infectious diseases and public health challenges.
