Upcoming virtual seminars
Get into your Genes
Wednesday 26 May 2021, 10:00am-11:00am (AEST)
Speakers: Bronwyn Terrill, A/Prof Sarah Kummerfeld, A/Prof Cindy Ma
Almost every disease has a genetic component. At Garvan, our fundamental goal is to understand genome biology and its impact on disease. Our vision is to use all the information encoded in our genome to better predict, diagnose, treat and ultimately prevent disease. From our Get into your genes seminar, you will learn the basics of genetics and hear from our researchers about their pioneering research projects.
The power of personalised medicine
Friday 25 June 2021, 10:00am to 11:00am (AEST)
Speakers: Professor Paul Timpson, Dr Mandy Ballinger and Dr Kendelle Murphy
Personalised medicine is the future of health and medicine. It uses uniquely personal information, like your DNA or genetic information, to help guide health-related decisions. Garvan researchers are already using genomic technology to conduct medical research, identifying genes and changes to genes that cause or influence some of the major diseases affecting society today. Join us to hear about some of the exciting research underway.
