Personal Genomes
& Medical Genomics

Abstract Deadline:
August 31, 2012

We
are pleased to host a new meeting on Personal
Genomes & Medical Genomics which combines
previous CSHL meetings on personal genomes and on pharmacogenomics.
The meeting will begin on Wednesday November 14 at 7.30pm and
conclude with lunch on Saturday November 17.
As
genome sequencing becomes routine, the availability of individualized
genetic/genomic information is changing and challenging the
practice of medicine. Stratification of common diseases based
on the individual's genetics is increasingly possible, as is
the best choice of pharmacological agent to be deployed to combat
that disease. At the same time, personal genome sequencing generates
large amounts of data that will need to be integrated into medical
decision making. This conference will explore the current state
of individual genomics at the level of the underlying genome
biology and its application in pharmacology and medicine. The
conference will also showcase other areas (eg. ancestry) where
the ready availability of personal genetic information represents
a powerful new resource for analysis and understanding.
Topics:
Cancer Genomics & Pharmacogenomics
Medical
Genomics: Diagnosis & Therapy
Mendelian
Diseases
Complex
Traits
Clinical
Integration of Genetic Variations
New
Future Technologies

Abstracts
are welcome for consideration as poster and platform presentations and
should contain new and unpublished material. Status (talk/vs. poster) of
abstracts will be posted on our web site as soon as decisions have been
made by the organizers.
We are
eager to have as many young scientists as possible attend since
they are likely to benefit most from this meeting. We have applied
for funds from government and industry to partially support
graduate students and postdocs. Apply in writing to meetings@cshl.edu
stating need for financial support - preference is given to
those submitting abstracts. We
hope to see you at Cold Spring Harbor in November.
