October 28-29, 2010. Centre for Genomic Regulation, Barcelona. This is the starting point of the Symposium “Medical Genome Sequencing: Understanding the Genomes of Disease”. Two days during which the latest advances in sequencing technologies and their medical applications will be Read more
The 9th CRG Annual Symposium will focus on the most recent advances in sequencing technologies and the future of personalized genomic medicine. The first day will focus on defining the framework of genomic analysis. The second day will be dedicated to genomic dissection of phenotypes.
The two-day program will cover topics such as sequencing activities being carried out nowadays, first medical applications of last-generation sequencing, latest technologies under development and the future of personalized genomic medicine.
Over the course of the two days there will be invited speakers, brief oral communications and poster sessions. Through six oral communications promising young researchers will present their work.
That could be a normal question that physicians would have to face in less than 50 years. 50 years? 10 years? Personalized medicine based on individual genetic analysis has long been a controversial and emotional issue. Opponents being afraid of Read more
