Genomics Event at NCRC Featuring Brian Athey and Eric Schadt
Two thought leaders in open source models of innovation discuss the hope of unprecedented future biomedical discoveries in the fast-changing field of genomics. UMMS Business Development and BioArbor welcome guest speaker Eric Schadt, Ph.D., co-founder of Sage Bionetworks, Director of the Institute for Genomics and Multiscale Biology, and Chair of the Department of Genetics and Genomics Sciences at Mt. Sinai Medical School. Dr. Schadt will be joined on stage in a provocative conversation with Brian Athey, Ph.D., Chair of U-M's new Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics and chairman of tranSMART. Dr. Schadt and Dr. Athey will examine the challenges that result when the pace of innovation can't keep up with the ability to aggregate and analyze exponentially increasing data sets. And they’ll discuss the increasing call for novel partnerships and open source models of innovation, where both private and public sectors collaborate and early stage discoveries benefit from shared knowledge and incubate in a pre-competitive space.
FREE, pre-registration required.

1000 Genomes Project Community Meeting
The 1000 Genomes Community Meeting is meant to showcase advances made by the 1000 Genomes Project, both with respect to methods for generation and analysis of sequence data and in our understanding of human genetic variation. In addition to discussing how 1000 Genomes Project data and methodology is advancing our understanding of human disease, whether in studies that use 1000 Genomes Project data as a reference or in other studies that are applying population sequencing and other project technologies to large samples, to highlight cutting edge sequencing studies and technologies in humans and finally to generate discussion and lay the ground work for the next round of community resource sequencing projects.
Registration is required online.
