Hayden, CM, OBC, FRSC - Chairman of FDNA’s Scientific Advisory Board & Steering Committee and Editor in Chief of Clinical Genetics.
FDNA will present its cutting edge technology and solution during a theatre presentation titled “Incorporating Computer Aided Facial Analysis into Clinical Practice, FDNA - Accessible Genetics” on Friday March 28, 2014. Speakers will include Dr. Lynne M. Bird, MD, FACMG from the University of California in San Diego; Prof. Lior Wolf, PhD, Chief Scientific Advisor & Co-founder of FDNA and Mr. Dekel Gelbman, FDNA’s CEO.
“We are excited to showcase our technology at this prestigious venue. After years of developing and validating this innovative technology with the help of our trusted partners, it is only natural that we would give something back and make our solutions available for free to the entire genetic community,” said Mr. Dekel Gelbman, FDNA's Chief Executive Officer.
