The 3rd Building Bridges symposium will highlight how genomics is used to improve our understanding of health and disease.  We set the stage by learning about the current status and goals of genomics utility in the clinics in Europe and Finland.  Then, with team talks from clinical and translational researchers, we explore personalized genomics and public health in the areas of cardiovascular disease and cancer. The symposium closes with a provocative look at where we go from here with presentations on the public funding strategies, business landscape, and healthcare practices around personalized medicine.  All participants and speakers are invited to the closing and networking opportunity.

The full program and the link to the registration form will be available in early October.  The symposium is open to the entire scientific community, and students will have the opportunity to earn credits as follows:
0,5 ECTS credits - for attendance at the symposium
1,5 ECTS credits – optional; for completion of the advance readings provided for each team talk and the follow-up exam questions provided by each team.

We warmly welcome you to join on November 20^th!
