Description of event:
New Frontiers in Cardiovascular Genetics Beyond GWAS (A2)
Scientific Organizers: Jennifer Hall and Stephen S. Rich
January 13—18, 2013
Granlibakken Resort, Tahoe City, California, USA
Meeting Summary
This meeting will highlight the latest advances in the field and new approaches in
genomics and
genetics applied to cardiovascular
disease and risk factors. Research in the areas of
DNA and
RNA sequencing and
bioinformatics, as it relates to
heart failure, sudden cardiac death and coronary artery
disease, will be presented from the perspectives of academia and industry around the world. Challenges in the pursuit of translating
genetic findings into
diagnostic tests and therapies will be discussed by leading experts who have identified new strategies. The sessions feature state-of-the-art talks in
genome biology and
genome sequencing for guiding
medicine decisions,
clinical trial designs and tailored medical treatments. This meeting offers a rare and unique opportunity to explore the most
current breakthroughs in
genetics and personalized
medicine from within and outside the field of cardiovascular
biology. As such, the program for this meeting is highly likely to attract a wide variety of investigators, many of whom might not otherwise interact.
