SAN DIEGO, Dec. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bionano Genomics, Inc. (Nasdaq: BNGO) today announced that the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition 2024 will feature a broad range of content covering OGM’s utility for research in areas including myeloid cancer, hematological malignancy, leukemia and blood disorders.

ASH’s Annual Meeting brings together industry, medical, and academic professionals to discuss advances in the field of blood disease. The ASH conference is being held December 7-10, 2024, in San Diego, California and online.

Thirteen posters featuring results from OGM applications in cytogenomic research will be presented at the conference. Three of the 13 posters were presented in sessions dedicated towards AML (posters 1538 and 1539) and ALL (poster 4224) clinical research applications. Posters displayed at the conference may also be viewed here; online only posters may be viewed here.
