This ground breaking event, held with the support of the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, EMBL-EBI, Pistoia Alliance, the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health and a consortium of international life science associations, will:

Use novel formats to address the challenges in getting the benefits of genomic science to the patient, including, narrative drama, roundtables, site visits and TED style talks

examine the science and technology that is shaping and revolutionising our understanding of disease
review the game changing innovation, roadblocks and critical success factors in the utilisation of genomic data
identify how big data is driving developments in precision medicine

The faculty who will deliver this are a “who’s who” in genomic science, headlined by Eric Green from NHGRI and supported by visionaries from across the globe including, The Broad Institute, Google, Harvard Medical School, EMBL-EBI, Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, and Genomics England.

Ticket prices start at just £300. Register now to receive the best possible rates.

Don’t miss this unprecedented opportunity to be right at the cutting edge of life science research.

Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.Chem / BioinformaticsCheminformatics and bioinformatics are computational techniques used in chemistry and biology, respectively, for data acquisition, processing and storage. Cheminformatics focuses on compound information, whereas bioinformatics is mainly applied to analysis and modeling of genomics, genetic and sequencing information. Hardware and software is available for data acquisition, analysis, management and storage.Gene Expression and Molecular CloningMolecular cloning is a set of techniques that utilizes vectors to transfer recombinant DNA into host cells and is an essential tool for investigating the expression of genes and proteins in bacterial or mammalian cells. A variety of vectors optimized for gene cloning and expression in a range of host organisms are available, alongside competent cells for genetic replication. Here, you can explore a range of molecular tools, high-quality genomic and cDNA libraries, premade clones, transformation and transfection reagents and mutagenesis or gene expression detection assays and expression arrays. Find the best gene expression and molecular cloning products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Clinical GeneticsMolecular Genetics covers the analysis of hereditary genetic disease and chromosomal abnormalities. Genetics can be analysed using DNA, RNA, and protein microarrays, PCR, RT PCR and DNA sequencing. Genetic equipment includes genetic workstations, thermal cyclers, cooling blocks and electrophoresis products. Diagnostic kits are used for DNA / RNA extraction and purification.Single Cell GenomicsGenome SequencingGenome sequencing involves determining the complete DNA sequence of an organism's genome. It provides crucial information about genetic variations, mutations, and diseases. Advances in sequencing technologies, such as next-generation sequencing (NGS), have accelerated research in genomics, diagnostics, and personalized medicine. Explore genome sequencing tools in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Genotyping
