shane bowen Shane Bowen – Director of Scientific Research at Illumina

Illumina’s goal is to apply innovative technologies to the analysis of genetic variation and function, making studies possible that were not even imaginable just a few years ago. Illumina is a global company that places high value on collaborative interactions, rapid delivery of solutions, and providing the highest level of quality. Their innovative sequencing and array technologies are fueling groundbreaking advancements in life science research, translational and consumer genomics, and molecular diagnostics.

Today, illumina is the global leader in genomics. At the foundation of illumina’s technologies lies an integrated solution that combines traditionally orthogonal scientific and engineering disciplines. Nanofabrication has been instrumental in the realization of the $1000 genome in 2014 and is enabling new solutions to build upon in the future.
