Identifying Gene Expression in Mammalian Development & Disease May 20th 2005, Birkbeck College, London

As we move into an era beyond simple genome sequencing, it is becoming ever apparent that to understand biological function we must first understand where and when every gene in the body is expressed. This meeting will focus on the methods required to obtain, image and use such data, together with its application to mammalian developmental biology and disease. Dr David Tannahill, The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute


Talk titles include:

Automated in Situ Detection

MicroRNAs as Potential Diagnostic and Prognostic Markers of Disease
