Welcome  

NHLBI's PGA Symposium July 19-20, 2005 Closed

 

In 2005 The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute and its 5 Programs for Genomic Applications held the second Symposium "From Genome to Disease".  There was no fee for registration or participation. This state-of-the-art symposium provided an opportunity to explore the application of genomic technologies to the study of human disease. To maximize the usefulness of the Symposium for both the novice and the experienced investigator,  the program coupled plenary lectures by leaders in the area of genomics and in-depth, small-group tutorials on the new technologies and methodologies discussed in this Symposium.

Topics included:

[]Comparative Genomics

[]SNP genotyping and Sequencing

[]Haplotypes and Association Studies

[]Animal Models for the High Throughput Study of Heart, Lung and Blood Disorders

[]From Desktop to Benchtop: translating Computational Analysis into in vivo Experiments

Confirmed Plenary Speakers:
  • Betsy Nabel, NHLBI
  • Cecilia Lo, NHLBI
  • Howard Jacob, MCW
  • David Cox, Perlegen Biosciences
  • Joel Hirschhorn, MIT
  • Steve Young, UCLA
  • Francis Collins, NHGRI
  • Vivian Cheung, U. Pennsylvania
  • Beverly Paigen, JAX
  • Jeff Friedman, Rockefeller
  • Eddy Rubin, LBNL

    Tutorials will be offered on:

    []   SNP Discovery and Analysis:  Application to Association Studies - Link

    []   A Physiological Genomics Approach to NHLBI Disorders in the Rat - Link

    []   The Baygenomics Mouse Knockout Project - Link

    []   Comparative Genomics in Biomedical Research - Link

    []   Jax-PGA & Mouse Mutant Resources for Studying Human Heart, Lung, Blood and Sleep Disorders - Link

    Abstracts:

    Submission of abstracts for platform presentation and poster sessions is actively encouraged. Submit your abstract

    The symposium will also host a social gathering that will provide an opportunity for informal discussions and the development of new collaborative interactions.

    No matter what your prior level of experience with high throughput biology, we think you will find much in the symposium that will be of interest and value to your own research efforts.

    We look forward to seeing you in Bethesda in July 2005.
