About the event

About the event

Following last year’s success, we are hosting EI Innovate again this year to explore opportunities for collaboration and innovation with external organisations.  Having worked with  agri-food, biotech  and  med-tech sectors, we 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 :

  1. Disease identification and monitoring – how genomics and bioinformatics are used for disease identification and monitoring, from COVID-19, to AMR to agricultural pathogens.
  2. Finding a needle in a haystack – Identifying specific targets in health and disease with long read RNA and single cell sequencing.
  3. Accelerating plant breeding with next generation genetics, genomics and epigenetics.

We 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. We anticipate this to be a great interactive experience, hope to see you all there.
