The next meeting in this biennial series will be held on
the 7th and 8th July 2008 and will cover a wide range of
techniques and issues relevant to genetic diagnostics in
the 21st century. It is aimed primarily at the UK NHS genetic
diagnostic community and will be of interest to established
scientists, trainees and technical staff. The programme is
designed to include technologies that are currently being
implemented but also give an insight into what might become
available over the next 5 to 10 years. The meeting is limited
to around 100-120 delegates and provides a good forum for
discussion of the technologies themselves, user experiences
and future directions.
The 2008
meeting will focus on new sequencing technologies, non-invasive
prenatal diagnosis, molecular cytogenetics copy number
determination. Confirmed speakers include Dennis Lo, Johan
den Dunnen, Orsetta Zuffardi, Sinuhe Hahn, Mats Nilsson,
Ken Mills, Neil Avent, John Armour, Peter Campbell, Patrick
Tarpey, Hagan Bayley and Chris Mattocks.
