Emerging Topic Conference: The Genomics Revolution Evaluation

4.33 (6 votes)

The conference will focus on genomics and the changing approach to diagnostics, management and research in adult and pediatric liver diseases. This course will provide a broad overview of genomic technologies and how they may be applied to understand the genetic underpinnings of rare and complex liver disorders. Attendees will develop a better understanding of the true genomic contribution to liver disease, and how this data can lead to personalized approaches to medical therapy.
