Explore the Exposome: The Next Frontier of Individualizing Medicine

November 2-3, 2022 | Rochester, MN & Virtual

When genomics alone cannot explain a disease, we enter the world of the exposome for insight. Attendees discover ways to innovate and advance care through genomics and emerging exposome science. Expert speakers from around the world and Mayo Clinic inspire attendees to transform future health care. Uncover the range of multiple exposures over a person’s lifetime and their impact on health and disease pathogenesis. Opportunities to connect with others in the field and explore future collaboration.

Please note: registration is required and there is a fee to attend.

Virtual Symposium: Understanding Recent Advances in Genome Technology Development

Understanding Recent Advances in Genome Technology Development
Thursday, July 7, 2022 | 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. ET

Recent improvements in the efficiency, accuracy and complexity of genomic analyses have been driven by new technological advances. The objective of this live, virtual symposium is to provide biomedical researchers, learners and providers with a fundamental understanding of how these new technologies are utilized, as well as emerging opportunities and challenges associated with their optimization and use. Speakers will discuss genomic technologies that include nanopore and epigenetic sequencing as well as multi-omic analyses of genomic structure and function, followed by roundtable discussions and participant Q&A.

This free event is hosted by the NHGRI Genome Technology Program’s recently funded Technology Development Coordinating Center (TDCC), led by the Jackson Laboratory.

Registration is required. Learn more and sign up on the Jackson Laboratory’s website.

NHGRI

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) will host a virtual lecture series throughout 2021 and 2022 that features trailblazers in science communication. Each distinguished speaker is an expert in communicating about genomics across media, including radio, podcasting, writing, speaking, publishing and everything in-between. The series aims to demonstrate the various approaches for communicating about genomics as well as the unique challenges and opportunities each medium can bring.

These lectures will provide communicators with the opportunity to talk about what it’s like to cover genomics today, such as the special challenges in reporting on the quickly growing scientific field, and how it’s changed since the Human Genome Project.
