NHGRI Genomic Medicine Scitable is a public social networking site where interested investigators can post messages raising questions or discussing issues relating to genomic medicine implementation.
Genomic Medicine Meetings
NHGRI held a series of Genomic Medicine meetings gathering genomics researchers, clinicians, and other experts from over U.S. institutions involved with the implementation of genomic medicine programs. The goal of these meetings includes identifying research gaps and opportunities; sharing approaches to genomic medicine implementation, and facilitating development of an active research community and possible collaborative projects.
- Genomic Medicine III (May 3-4, 2012, Chicago, Ill.)
- Genomic Medicine II (December 5-6, 2011, Bethesda, Md.)
- Genomic Medicine Symposium (June 29, 2011, Chicago, Ill.)
NHGRI Genomic Medicine Working Group
The NHGRI Genomic Medicine Working Group is a subcommittee of the National Advisory Council for Human Genome Research providing guidance to NHGRI on genomic medicine implementation.
