The sharing of genetic data from clinical diagnostic testing and the development of consensus-curated knowledge are essential to realising the promise of genomic medicine. The 9th Curating the Clinical Genome conference by Wellcome Connecting Science will bring together leading international and national initiatives to establish common standards, share best practices, integrate recent research and (ultimately) drive improvements in patient care.
This in-person and virtual event is for a wide range of medical genomics researchers, clinicians, clinical scientists practising genomic medicine and data scientists who are interested in and want to understand more about genomic data sharing. The conference has been designed to unite the international clinical genomics and biodata communities. Delegates can expect discussions on best practices for the clinical use of genomic data, including variant interpretation, clinical utility and the generation of consensus-curated knowledge.
The programme includes key updates on variant classification guidelines and tools and will include discussions on developments in population and newborn genome screening, non-coding and somatic variations. Sessions will also highlight functional genomics, including multiplex assays of variant effect (MAVEs) and their applications in clinical settings.
This is a ticketed event, with prices and bursaries detailed on the event’s webpage. For more information on this event, including how to register, please visit its webpage or contact the event’s hosts, Wellcome Connecting Science.
