Illumina Array event at ASHG

Please join us for an Illumina Event exploring the intersection of the latest microarrays and their application in large scale studies and clinical research with an eye towards improving human health.

Precision Medicine Initiatives and population scale genomics continue to benefit from expanding funding, interest and adoption. In this context, the use of genomic data is driving the characterization of human disease and when combined with phenotypic data, the information is transforming the way in which healthcare is delivered.

Microarrays play a key role in providing a variety of different data types that are relevant in clinical research and can be applied at scale due to their low-cost relative to other options.  As the demands of clinical researchers and large-scale genomics data generation have evolved, so too have microarray content and technology.

This event will include networking, discussion and presentations around the latest developments in microarray applications and innovation driven by Infinium™ array technology.

Speakers Include:

• J. Michael Gaziano, MD, MPH, Principal Investigator, Million Veteran Program and Scientific Director of the Massachusetts Veterans Epidemiology Research and Information Center (MAVERIC), VA Boston Healthcare System; Chief, Division of Aging, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School
• Eimear E. Kenny, PhD, Director of the Center for Genomic Health, and Associate Professor of Genetics & Genomics Sciences at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
• Estelle Giraud, PhD, Senior Manager, Array and Consumer Genomics Sales Specialists, Americas, Illumina, Inc.
