Leena Peltonen School of Human Genomics 2017

Leena Peltonen School of Human Genomics is organized by Wellcome Genome Campus and would be held during Aug 20 - 24, 2017 at Wellcome Genome Campus, Hinxton, England, United Kingdom.

This is a fascinating time in human genetics and genomics, as the field moves beyond the cataloguing of associated variation towards functional analysis, biological understanding and translational implementation. The programme will cover a range of topics including our current understanding of the genomics of rare and complex human diseases. There will be sessions addressing gene regulation and functional analysis. The latest advances in sequencing technology and the future of whole genome and clinical sequencing will also be discussed.

The schedule is interactive with presentations by the tutors and students on cutting-edge topics in human genomics. The summer school is more akin to a ‘science summer camp’ for graduate students with discussions and debates on the future of human genomics. The final programme is built around the research interests of the students. A unique feature of the summer school is the one-to-one mentoring on all aspects of genomics, including advice on publishing and pursuing an academic research career.

Additional Details will be posted as soon as they are available.
