World Symposium on Genetics Analysis

The event is focused on pharmacogenomics/pharmacogenetics and will feature presentations and case studies on designing clinical trials, on relating genetic markers to patient outcomes, and on novel techniques in genetic association analysis.

The keynote speaker is Bruce Weir, Ph.D., professor of statistics and genetics and director of the Bioinformatics Research Center, North Carolina State University (Raleigh, USA). His talk "New Frontiers in Statistical Genetics” will set the stage for highlighting present and future challenges and opportunities in the science of genetic analysis.

There will also be time for hiking, rafting, fishing, and other outdoor activities. "The idea is to give people an opportunity for scientific inquiry in a setting that will also inspire creative thinking,” says Christophe Lambert, Ph.D., CEO of Golden Helix, Inc. (Bozeman, MO, USA) and co-chairman of the symposium. More details are available on the website of Golden Helix.
