Dr. David Dobnik
Assistant Professor, National Institute of Biology, Slovenia
David Dobnik, PhD in Biotechnology, has been developing new nucleic acid detection/quantification approaches since 2007. These include methods for GMO detection. He and his colleagues developed the first higher-order multiplex ddPCR methods (above 4-plex) for more streamlined GMO quantification. David is a head of GMO detection laboratory (Slovenian National reference laboratory for GMO detection) and is also a SC member of European network of GMO detection laboratories. His team is involved in validation of methods for identification and quantification of new GMOs entering the European Union market, and development of new approaches for GMO quantification.

Think all that wine has to do with digital PCR is that you drink it with colleagues to celebrate a successful dPCR publication? Then check out this series of lively talks and see how others rely on dPCR to analyze nucleic acids in all samples. No exaggeration necessary. There will be chickens, wine, plants and that’s not even all…
