Bioprocess Modeling for Expansion of Cell Culture

Ongoing
One of the most critical steps in bioprocessing is the controlled expansion of frozen cell cultures to generate sufficient cell quantities for manufacturing cell-based products or assay systems. This project focuses on building a scalable model for cell expansion processes that can support the

Genome in a Bottle

Ongoing
Consortium goals: The Genome in a Bottle Consortium is a public-private-academic consortium hosted by NIST to develop the technical infrastructure (reference standards, reference methods, and reference data) to enable translation of whole human genome sequencing to clinical practice and innovations

Genome in a Bottle Workshops

Ongoing
GIAB has held 1-2 workshops each year since being formed in 2012. These workshops include progress updates, presentations about related work, and planning for new samples and analyses. Following are links to agendas, reports, and presentations from past workshops. Workshop Reports APRIL 2020
