Date: Thursday, April 7, 2016
Time: 11:00-12:00 
Venue: Seminar Room C209 - Center Bldg
Speaker: Matt Huentelman, PhD
Associate Professor, Neurogenomics Division

Title: N=1 vs. N=50,000 – The power of modern day genomics for personalized medicine
Abstract: With the advent and widespread adoption of so-called next generation sequencing (NGS) approaches we are witnessing the rapid adoption of genomics in clinical medicine. Dr. Huentelman’s laboratory has participated in numerous research and clinical studies leveraging genomic sequencing to better improve treatment of or to diagnose disease. In this lecture he will provide an overview of the field and utilize specific examples from his research (including the first ever identified genes associated with Aicardi Syndrome and Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy) to illustrate the current state of affairs regarding NGS and where the future may take us.   

We hope to see many of you.
Sincerely,
Emiko Asato
