Accelerating Precision Medicine:
A 10x Genomics Boston Symposium

Date:October 2, 2026

Time:9:00 AM–6:00 PM ET

Join us in Boston for a full-day symposium exploring how single cell and spatial gene expression technologies are accelerating the path to precision medicine — from mapping the cellular and molecular mechanisms of disease to translating discovery into clinical impact. This symposium brings together leading investigators from across the Boston research community alongside 10x Genomics, and is open to anyone curious about where the science and technology are headed, whether or not you're currently working with these tools.

What You'll Discover:

• The technology powering precision medicine's next chapter
• Spatial tools for translational research & clinical trials
• Spatial and single cell tools are accelerating discovery beyond cancer, into infectious disease and aging
• Single cell epigenetics is rewriting the rules of disease biology

Breakfast and lunch will be provided, with a networking reception following the program.
