Call for Speaker Proposals
第1回
Genomic Screening and Diagnosis
-ゲノムスクリーニングと診断学会-
2月21日〜23日
この学会は、遺伝子検査と診断の注目すべき新たな世界に焦点を絞り込んだもので、出産前検査や新生児検査、成人検査などの現場で現在行われている取り組みについて考え、希少疾病や一般的な疾病と関連する遺伝子突然変異を検出するためのさまざまな技術を検討します。また、各国のゲノム解析センターや研究機関、病院、集中検査センターなどで行われている遺伝子検査の成功例も紹介されることになっています。この学会の目的は、ゲノムスクリーニング分野を概観するとともに、技術面、倫理面、法規制面の問題など、早急に対処すべき主な課題を明らかにすることにあり、スクリーニング手続きのガイドラインや導入のための判断基準などに関する議論も行われる予定です。
Who Should Attend: VPs, Directors, Managers, CEOs, CSOs, Professors and Scientists from Large Pharma, Biotechs and Academia working in fields such as Genomics, Healthcare, Pathology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Biotherapeutics, R&D, and Pharmacogenomics.
Topics will include, but are not limited to:
- Discovery of rare and common disease genes
- Preconception testing
- Diagnostic testing
- Which disorders should be included in a screening program?
- Reimbursement for screening – who pays and how?
- Who should be screened?
- What are the potential risks of screening?
- Compare use of
- Exome sequencing
- Targeted panels of genes
- Whole genome sequencing
- Next generation sequencing
The deadline for submission is July 29, 2011.
All proposals are subject to review by the Scientific Advisory Committee to ensure the highest quality of the conference program. Please note that due to limited speaking slots, preference is given to pharmaceutical and biotech companies, regulators and those from academia. Additionally, vendors/consultants who provide products and services to these biopharmaceutical companies are offered opportunities for podium presentation slots based on a variety of Corporate Sponsorships.
