One Million Genomes: From Discovery to Health (G1)

One Million Genomes: From Discovery to Health (G1) is organized by Keystone Symposia on Molecular and Cellular Biology and will be held during Jun 04 - 08, 2018 at Schloss Herrenhausen, Hannover, Saxony, Germany.

Course description :
This meeting will highlight challenges and potential solutions for germ-line and somatic sequencing programs and make recommendations for optimizing their impact on global health. The crucial role of free and open sharing and exchange of human variation data from these programs in allowing all of them to interpret novel variants and use them in clinical care will be emphasized. The meeting will focus on various scientific challenges for the field, including implementation science, the scalable data infrastructures and analyses required for impact on discovery and clinical care, and the value proposition for the investments that have been made in national programs. The leading edge of clinical impact of clinical sequencing with will be highlighted in sessions on pharmacogenomics, and in developing novel therapeutics.

Session Topics:
• Large-Scale National Sequencing Programs: Implementation to Impact
• Somatic Sequencing Programs: Biological Insights and Diagnosis
• Implementation Science for Genomic and Precision Medicine
• International Data Resources Enabling Genomic Medicine
• The Actionable Genome
• The Value Proposition for National Sequencing
• Pharmacogenomics: The Leading Edge of Genomics Impact in Medicine
• Use of Large-Scale Bio-Clinical Resources for Drug Discovery

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