Office of Population Genomics: Past Meetings and Workshops
- Frontiers in Population Genomics Research Meeting
Held December 18-19, 2007 in Bethesda, Md., the Frontiers workshop was held to chart future research directions for NHGRI to pursue in population genomics, defined as the application of genomic technologies to population studies, to meet the goals of NHGRI and NIH in improving health and reducing disease.
- Designing Geneticists: Study Design Issues in Population-Based Genetics and Genomics Research
The 2007 American Society of Human Genetics meeting was held in San Diego, October 23-27. Presentation slides regarding study design and minimizing bias in population-based genetic studies are now available for download. - Genome-Wide Association Studies for the Rest of Us: Adding Genome-Wide Association to Population Studies
The National Institutes of Health co-sponsored a seminar on Genome-Wide Association Studies at the June 22, 2007 meeting of the Society for Epidemiological Research in Boston. Lecture and discussion videos and presentation slides from the seminar are available for download.
- Multi-IC Symposia on the Application of Genomic Technologies to Population-Based Studies: Facilitating Collaboration in Genome-Wide Association Studies
Two NIH-wide symposia held in 2006 and 2007 in order to increase the level of familiarity and understanding of GWA studies within NIH, and to develop collaborations within or across ICs for carrying out these studies.
