The Australasian Genomics Technologies Association Annual Meeting will be held in Hobart from October 29th to November 1st at the Hotel Grand Chancellor. We have assembled an array of International and Australian scientists to present and discuss genomic technologies and the biology that these technologies are uncovering. We have planned session around complex traits, population genetics, functional genomics, bioinformatics and computational biology, epigenetics and transcriptomics, comparative genomics, gene editing, medical genetics and much more!
Registration for the meeting is still open and you can view the program and other meeting information herehttp://agtaconference.org/.
We have two concurrent pre-conference workshopshttp://agtaconference.org/pre-conference-workshops/ planned on Sunday 29th Oct: "Can genome editing fulfil its promise in the clinic and the field?" and "Technical solution to single cell problems". Both workshops include presentations from invited speakers and panel discussions in which you can participate to learn more about the utility of genome editing or the techniques available for single cell genomics.
Locals are invited to attend a workshop without registering for the whole meeting. Tickets are priced at $40 each or $20 for students.
We also have a special single day registration rate of $250 for locals, if you would like to attend the meeting but can only make 1 day.
