Manja Meggendorfer, PhD
The future of personalized genomics
Manja Meggendorfer is the Head of Molecular Genetics at Munich Leukemia Laboratory (MLL), where she oversees various R&D activities such as the 5,000 genome project, which is aimed at better understanding the genetic factors behind leukemia. She received her Master of Science in Biology from the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich and her PhD. in collaboration with the Helmholtz Center Munich working on gene regulation within the architecture of the cell nucleus. After her post-doctorate, she moved to the field of hematology as a scientist in the department of molecular genetics at MLL. In combination with her MBA in Health Care Management, Manja hopes to improve the diagnostic and prognostic work associated with routine diagnostic approaches for leukemia or lymphoma patients.
Opentrons Robotics
Lab automation has never been easier
Opentrons makes robots for biologists. The company’s mission is to provide the scientific community with a common platform to easily share protocols and reproduce each other's results. The robots automate experiments that would otherwise be done by hand, allowing the scientific community to spend more time pursuing answers to some of the 21st century’s most important questions.
The OT-2, Opentrons’ flagship product, is a benchtop liquid handler designed to be affordable and flexible enough to automate many common applications such as NGS library prep, PCR, and nucleic acid isolation and purification.
IDT has partnered with Opentrons to provide IDT customers access to automation protocols and scripts for use on their Opentrons liquid handling instruments. Featured below are some of the existing protocols that have already been developed. Request access today!
