Professor Nagasaki will give an invited talk at the 44h Autumn Meeting of The Society of Chemical Engineers, Japan (SCEJ). The 44th Autumn Meeting of SCEJ will be held at Tohoku University. Professor Nagasaki will give a talk titled “Environmental management of next-generation sequencing and its practical operation in the age of gigantic genome data” at the symposium ” Proposal from next-generation engineering for effective utilization of biological information”.

Date/Time  September 21,2012 (Fri.) 13:00-13:40
Place  Tohoku University Kawauchi Hagi Hall http://www.bureau.tohoku.ac.jp/hagihall/institution/access.html

*Summary of the Talk*
10 years after the age when researchers all over the world focused on a target human genome, the big advances in sequencing technique allow us to face a new age when one can easily read a gigantic genome from a blood sample using handy sequencer, namely the age of gigantic genome data.  A lecture will be given on how we can handle and analyze such a gigantic data based on experiences gained during International Cancer Genome Consortium and Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization.
