BioConference Live Genetics and Genomics 2014
BioConference Live Genetics and Genomics 2014

Yorba Linda, CA (PRWEB) August 19, 2014 -- BioConference Live Genetics and Genomics recently announced new speakers for their virtual conference scheduled for August 20-21, 2014. The Annual Genetics and Genomics Virtual Conference welcomes Dr. Gordon Mills and Dr. Robert Nussbaum as the keynote speakers during the event. The one-of-a-kind global web-based conference will be conducted through live video webcasts and real-time networking.

Dr. Mills will be presenting “Delivering on the promise of personalized medicine”. The realization of the promise of personalized molecular medicine requires efficient development and implementation of novel targeted therapeutics linked to molecular markers able to identify patients most likely to benefit. An efficient integration of DNA, RNA and protein information content will be needed to identify patients likely to respond to particular therapies. A comprehensive analysis of patient tumors before, during and after treatment should become the standard of practice. Testing these precepts will require the development and implementation of novel trial designs.

Keynote presenter Dr. Nussbaum will discuss the Clinical Validity and Utility in Whole Exome/Genome Sequencing. He is a member of the UCSF Institute for Human Genetics, where he is studying if and how genetic and genomic information can be used to improve health care by improving outcomes, reducing adverse reactions, lowering costs and promoting health through risk education.

This year, topics for the conference include RNAi, Next-generation sequencing, Cancer research, Sequencing, Genome-wide association studies GWAS, Epigenetics, Mapping, Exomes, Genomic medicine, Human Genome Structural Variation, Pharmacogenetics, DNA/RNA Purification, Mutations, Translational Genomics, Bioinformatics, Genotyping, Pharmacogenomics, Screening, Cloning, Gene Expression, Phenotyping, Transcription, Functional Genomics, Synthetic Biology, Genome Engineering, Immunology, qPCR/Real-Time PCR, PCR, Biomarkers, Stem Cell research, Human Identification, Bioproduction, Molecular Diagnostics and much more.
