Title: Minimizing Bias in Microbiome Research

In microbiome research, each step of the process is critical in guaranteeing that you get accurate results. Unfortunately, it is easy to accidentally introduce sample bias that affects your downstream results, which may give a false picture of the make-up of your microbial community. Luckily, there are steps you can take to minimize this bias, allowing you to produce the most accurate results. In this talk we will discuss methods for minimizing sample bias in sample isolation and extraction.

About the speaker
Dominic ONeil, M.S., M.B.A., Director, Microbiome Product Development
QIAGEN

Dominic O'Neil has over 20 years of experience in the biotechnology industry. Before joining QIAGEN, he gained molecular biology expertise at several companies, including three years at the Whitehead/MIT Center for Genome Research in Cambridge, MA, where he participated in the completion of the initial draft of the human genome. Dominic joined Digene (which later became part of QIAGEN) in 2004 to work on new technology research and development, focusing in particular on sample preparation and diagnostic applications. In 2011, he joined the QIAGEN R&D group in Hilden to work on solutions for next-generation sequencing. Starting in 2015, he focused on microbiome extraction and associated workflows and now leads the R&D group as Director for Microbiome Product Development.

QIAGEN Seminar Goal
The UCR microbiome group has a unique opportunity to directly influence the direction of QIAGEN's product development. We are looking for insights and feedback regarding current and future focus areas and challenges that you would like to see met. QIAGEN would like to help with any challenges that researchers are facing and be a partner in this valuable and ever-changing area of study.
