The Sequence to Come: Biotechnology in the Genetic Era
Published: 19 November 2013
Genome sequencing joins hands with biotech innovation. Join our panel on 27 November, discussing Human Genome Sequencing: science, entrepreneurship and beyond. A unique opportunity to ask questions and interact with the experts.
With the December 2012 UK Government’s announcement of a £100m investment for the sequencing of 100k genomes of NHS patients with cancer and rare diseases, Genetics confirmed its leading position at the forefront of biotech research and industry. What are its scientific foundations? Is it healthy business? How can its discoveries challenge patient care?
Join OBR- Glasgow panel discussion to gain fascinating and much-needed insights into the scientific background, entrepreneurship opportunities and clinical impact of Human Genome Sequencing.
