Cost: Free! Thanks to our Sponsor - Pacific BioSciences
Eric Olivares: Is a geneticist and molecular biologist with strong interests in bioinformatics and Next Gen sequencing. His education includes both B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Genetics. Since completing his graduate work in 2003, he has been working on molecular biology problems in industry. When it became apparent that this line of work did not allow much time for broad scientific discussion nor networking with those outside his company, he founded SEQanswers as an information resource and user-driven community focused on all aspects of Next Gen genomics. SEQanswers has become a leading site for Next Gen sequencing technology discussion and education. The site attempts to cater to everyone, regardless of scientific background or knowledge.
Eric is currently researching Next Gen sequencing techniques at Pacific Biosciences (2008 to present). Previously, he worked at Invitrogen/Life Technologies in a Next Gen sequencing product development role.
