BGI Americas 今年正在推出一项仪器免费租用项目:

Since MGI Tech and BGI Genomics have begun selling their sequencing products in the US, they want to let as many potential users/customers/collaborators know about their high-quality lower-cost alternative to Illumina. In addition, as a promotion during this year, they will provide free instruments with reagent rental model to selected Key Opinion Leaders’ labs.

The key terms for the free instrument reagent rental model are:

1. Lease of a DNBSEQ-G400C sequencer (US version of DNBSEQ-G400: https://en.mgi-tech.com/products/instruments_info/2/ [en.mgi-tech.com] [en.mgi-tech.com]) for a period of 12 or 24 months. This model’s performance is similar to NextSeq 2000. Instrument Ownership remains with MGI.

2. Lab only needs to pay $10,000 up front for shipping, installation and training.

3. Lab is committed to do certain activities for MGI, such as presentation of data for MGI at conferences or marketing events, or publish application notes etc.

4. Lab is committed to minimum purchase of $?? Of reagents per month during lease period.

5. If Lab fails to meet the commitments in #3 and 4, MGI has right to take instrument back with the lab paying $5,000 for un-installation and shipment.

The exact details in #3 and 4 are negotiable. This is a limited time offer: Agreement must be signed by 11/30/2022.

如果哪位会员的实验室对上面的free instruments with reagent rental model感兴趣，请直接写信联系Dr. Yongwei Zhang, VP of BGI Group, and CEO of Americas Region (yozhang@mgi-tech.com), 预约下个周四9/22或者周五9/23跟Dr. Yongwei Zhang见面详谈. 多谢！

Introduction

SCBA-SinoBiological Young Investigator Awards are co-sponsored by the Seattle Chinese Biomedical Association (SCBA) and Sino Biological (Biotechnology company).

SCBA (http://scbahome.org/) is a volunteer run non-profit 501(C)(3) organization founded in 1993 in Seattle. SCBA strives to provide a forum for the exchange of information related to life sciences and the Chinese community in the great Seattle area.

The company’s ever-growing portfolio of products includes recombinant proteins, monoclonal antibodies, ELISA assay kits, expression clones, cell culture media, and other molecular biology tools.

SCBA-SinoBiological Young Investigator Awards are established to recognize early-career SCBA members in Washington State who have made significant contributions to their respective biomedical research fields. The Awards also value individuals who are committed to making contributions to the SCBA seminars and/or annual meetings.

This year we only accept self-nominations, which means all applicants need to complete an online application process before the indicated deadline. Review processes will take place every year prior to the SCBA annual meeting.

3) Upload your resume/CV or NIH BioSketch in PDF.

4) One recommendation letter is desired but not required. The letter can either be sent directly to scbaaward@gmail.com (with award type and applicant name in subject line) or uploaded along with the application.

5) Please submit your application no later than August 31st, 2022.

Review Process

All applications will be reviewed by a professional review panel consists of experts from both academia and industry. Each application will be scored by all reviewers and ranked, and top candidates will be selected for awards.

Award types, Announcement, and Presentation

Depending on the applicant pool, there will be 1-2 awards in each of the four categories (student, postdoc, industrial scientist and junior faculty). The number of awards in each category will be ultimately determined by the number and credential of respective applicants. Each award will consist of a plaque and an honorarium of $500. The awards will be announced prior to SCBA annual meetings (Oct-Dec). Awardees will be invited to give a presentation of their work in SCBA seminars or annul meetings.
