SACNAS, Virtual, 2020 Precisely Precision Medicine: A Primer on Translational Research Session Description: Precision medicine promises effective, tailored treatments for patients developed through diverse and representative population-level translational research. While the concept of precision medicine is not new, the convergence of modern-day genomics and electronic health records coupled with increased computational capacity has made the […]
This year’s North Coast Conference on Precision Medicine will be virtual and held over two afternoons. The topic for this sixth annual event is polygenic risk scores: what are they, how are they used, and why does diversity matter? Please check our website periodically for a list of confirmed speakers, registration, and more!
