Mutations: great and small
One of the greatest surprises of human genetic research has been the degree to which healthy people vary in the number of genes in their genomes, as a result of gains and losses of large segments of DNA. Generating comprehensive maps of where these variants exist in our genomes has enabled us to identify large common genetic variants that influence our susceptibility to common diseases such as diabetes, as well as to discover large rare genetic variants that can cause a wide range of rare disorders. Dr Hurles will discuss how his investigations of this previously under-appreciated form of genetic variation have helped to s...

Epigenetic Innovations
From 9:00 am to 4:10 pm
Summary:
Clinically-approved epigenetic therapies are currently effective in only one area: leukaemia. But this belies their true potential.
Description:
Treatments in development are rapidly expanding across disciplinary boundaries into solid tumours, inflammatory, neurological, metabolic and rare diseases.
Following extensive discussions with senior industry and academic experts, Pharma IQ’s Epigenetic Innovations summit will focus on fundamental mechanisms, chemical targets and therapies unrestricted by therapeutic area. Expertise in bioinformatics, sequencing, medicinal chemistry and clini...
