Clinical and translational genomics
Presidential Lectures are free public colloquia centered on four main themes: Biology, Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science, and Neuroscience and Autism Science. These curated, high-level scientific talks feature leading scientists and mathematicians and are intended to foster discourse and drive discovery among the broader NYC-area research community. We invite those interested in the topic to join us for this weekly lecture series.
This Biotech Symposium will focus on clinical and translational genomics and the shift to precision medicine. Clinical and translational genomics have typically been approached as limited research or demonstration projects, whereas precision medicine envisions genomics as an integral component of medical research and practice. This transition presents a variety of specific challenges that will need to be addressed over the coming years.
