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.
Volta Labs
Walk-away sample prep for any sequencer
Volta Labs is a genomics applications company that has developed a cutting-edge digital fluidics platform to improve the performance, scalability, and consistency of sample preparation for genomic analyses by bringing the push-button experience of a sequencer to sample prep.
The Callisto™ Sample Prep System reduces the risks associated with manual sample prep with preloaded applications that require no user programming or optimization. Volta and IDT are working to create platform-agnostic solutions, with the goal of walk-away sample prep, starting with target enrichment workflows. Together, this partnership will accelerate the journey from sample to data, enabling rapid, high-quality processing for as little as one sample.
