Genomic Medicine
Thursday, September 29, 2005
8:00 AM - 6:00 PM
Dow Auditorium, Towsley Center
The completion of the Human Genome Project was celebrated as a historic scientific accomplishment and projected to impact human health on a global scale. But how can (and should) genome sequence data be used to treat human disease in the clinics and beyond? The 2005 Biomedical Research Symposium on "Genomic Medicine" focuses on some of the important topics in conducting human genetic research in the "post-genome era" including population-scale studies of genetic health; managing large volumes of genetic data at academic institutions; and translation of genomic data to treat patients and moving towards personalized medicine.
The symposium will feature a keynote address by Francis Collins (director, National Human Genome Research Institute) followed by talks by international leaders in the field. Researchers at U-M as well as colleagues at Pfizer, Inc. will be invited to present their work at a poster session. The goal of this symposium is to foster networks and collaborations within and outside U-M in "Genomic Medicine" - a topic that is at the forefront of science and medicine today.
