JPM 2026 Schedule Through A Molecular Tools & Testing Lens

The J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference is this week in San Francisco.  As with every other one, I'm tracking any news remotely from Boston.  Some year I really should go to observe the sheer spectacle of it, but this isn't the year - and if I were in California now it probably would be more valuable to attend Plant & Animal Genomes down in San Diego.  If you do go, be sure to check out the 4 instrument autonomous laboratory Ginkgo will have running in the Marriott Marquis lobby.  But here are some notes to keep track of when different companies are presenting.  Public companies will make their presentations available shortly thereafter to comply with insider trading regulations.  Unfortunately, several years ago J.P. Morgan ended posting presentations from private companies - these companies could choose to post their decks but I'm not optimistic to see many.

Times are Pacific Time; companies are public unless otherwise noted.  Scope is NGS, molecular tools, molecular testing, and laboratory automation.  Please flag any clear omissions in the comments.

Monday

  7:30 am  California West   Grail Inc
  8:15 am  California East    10X Genomics
  8:30 am  Golden Gate        Element Biosciences
  9:45 am  Union Square      BillionToOne
10:30 am  Elizabethan C      Pacific Biosciences
11:15 am  Elizabethan A/B  QIAGEN
  2:15 pm  Elizabethan A/B  Oxford Nanopore Technologies  
                 Union Square      Twist Bioscience
  2:30 pm  Golden Gate        Alamar Bioscience (private)
  3:00 pm  Grand Ballroom  Roche Holding 

Interesting that there is no effort to keep all the tools companies in the same room - well, that would be one way to get one's steps in during the conference.  Twist & ONT at the same time would be annoying if I was there.
