Wouter Bossuyt will give a presentation on the KU Leuven Core Facility (https://www.genomicscore.be/). During the talk, he will showcase the facility’s infrastructure, discuss the services available to researchers, and explain how the Core Facility supports high-quality research and innovation. Whether you are looking for advanced technologies, expert guidance, or collaborative opportunities, this presentation will provide valuable insights into the resources available through KU Leuven’s Core Facility.
Genomics Core Leuven is an academically based knowledge and technology platform that facilitates access to various sequencing technologies and shares expertise in sequence analysis and data processing. Genomics Core is a collaborative effort of the Centre of Human Genetics at KU Leuven and UZ Leuven for making state-of-the-art technologies, protocols and bioinformatic pipelines available for research and clinical diagnostics. The Genomics Core has multiple Illumina systems, provides access to single-cell sequencing technology, and also to PacBio & Oxford Nanopore long-read technology. Several liquid handling robots are used for automating the sample preparation workflows for different applications. Various single-cell genomics fluidics pipelines are available: a liquid-handling robotic pipeline based on single-cell sorting, a custom droplet-fluidics system, and a platform for rare-cell isolation (a dielectrophoretic cage-array microfluidics system).
