International Society for Applied Biological Sciences (ISABS) 10th Conference on Forensic and Anthropologic Genetics and Mayo Clinic Lectures in Individualized Medicine
International Society for Applied Biological Sciences (ISABS) 10th Conference on Forensic and Anthropologic Genetics and Mayo Clinic Lectures in Individualized Medicine is organized by International Society for Applied Biological Sciences (ISABS) and would be held during Jun 19 - 24, 2017 at Hotel Dubrovnik Palace, Dubrovnik, Dubrovnik, Croatia.
Tenth ISABS Conference on Forensic and Anthropologic Genetics and Mayo Clinic Lectures in Individualized Medicine has been categorised as an International Course of the first category by The Croatian Medical Chamber (File no: 145-1660/17) and active participants will be granted with 30 continuing medical education (CME) credits while passive participants will receive 20 continuing medical education (CME) credits.
The impact of the conferences and the resulting professional ties on applied genetics in the region has
been substantive. It affected numerous research and educational efforts being crowned in 2009 with the opening of the Center for Forensic Sciences at the University of Split, currently the only institution that offers the specialized graduate program in the region. In addition, ISABS, our parent society, and the American Academy of Forensic Sciences agreed recently to forge scientific and academic ties to provide even more opportunities and access for the budding scientists.
As genetic technology in forensics overlaps with genetic anthropology, for the past decade we have included anthropologic sessions into the program. At the same time, Mayo Clinic joined the effort. It provided the critical link into the cutting-edge clinical applications of genetics. The overall effort culminated in the incorporation of individualized medicine as the third cornerstone, together with forensic and anthropologic genetics, of our programs. We feel this integration of the three areas, united by technology and applicative intent, provides an unprecedented opportunity for crosspollination. The more recent conferences in the series have amply vindicated this approach.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
