Jim Lupski, Baylor College of Medicine
We
are pleased to host a second meeting on Precision
Medicine: Personal Genomes & Pharmacogenomics
which combines previous CSHL meetings on personal genomes and
on pharmacogenomics. The meeting will begin on Wednesday November
13 at 7.30pm and conclude with lunch on Saturday November 16.
As
genome sequencing becomes routine, the availability of individualized
genetic/genomic information is changing and challenging the
practice of medicine. Stratification of common diseases based
on the individual's genetics is increasingly possible, as is
the best choice of pharmacological agent to be deployed to combat
that disease. At the same time, personal genome sequencing generates
large amounts of data that will need to be integrated into medical
decision making. This conference will explore the current state
of individual genomics at the level of the underlying genome
biology and its application in pharmacology and medicine. The
conference will also showcase other areas (eg. ancestry) where
the ready availability of personal genetic information represents
a powerful new resource for analysis and understanding.

Abstracts
are welcome for consideration as poster and platform presentations
and should contain new and unpublished material. Status (talk
vs. poster) of abstracts will be posted on our web site as
soon as decisions have been made by the organizers.
We
are eager to have as many young scientists as possible attend
since they are likely to benefit most from this meeting. We
have applied for funds from government and industry to partially
support graduate students and postdocs. Apply in writing to
meetings@cshl.edu stating
need for financial support - preference is given to those submitting
abstracts.
We
hope to see you at Cold Spring Harbor in November.
