PhD student Tomáš Strečanský was one of the keynote speakers at the Central Europe Nanopore Days, held February 17-19, 2025 in Telč, Czech Republic. He spoke about optimizing sample preparation techniques, including selective host depletion and whole genome amplification, to increase sequencing efficiency. Maximizing the use of the IMinION Point-of-Care Test for the development of rapid pathogen identification and antimicrobial resistance based on nanopore sequencing is a promising analysis for the future of clinical genomics.
