AMSI BioInfoSummer 2024 Public Lecture: Preparing for the age of genomic medicine
2024-12-03 17:00 - 18:15 (Australia/Brisbane) | The University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria, 3010, Australia
Join us for an engaging public lecture by Professor Daniel MacArthur, a leader in the field of genomic medicine, as part of the AMSI BioInfoSummer 2024 program. Suitable for a general audience, this talk is accessible to Year 10 students and above. Light refreshments will be served from 5pm.
Whether you’re a researcher, student, or simply interested in the latest scientific advancements, this hybrid event is not to be missed!
We are currently living through an unprecedented transformation of medicine, driven by rapid technological change across multiple fields. Three fields have been particularly impactful:

genomics, which allows us to understand the human at unprecedented resolution;
data science, which uses tools including AI to make sense of the vast amounts of data emerging from genomics and other measurements, and to make predictions about current and future disease risk; and
therapeutics, which allows us to make precise molecular changes to cure or prevent disease.

The intersection of these three fields, genomic medicine, has already profoundly changed the diagnosis of genetic diseases and the treatment of cancer, and over the next decade will reshape many aspects of healthcare.
Professor Daniel MacArthur will give an accessible summary of what the new field of genomic medicine will mean for the future of health, and what Australia needs to do to ensure that all of our citizens can benefit from these powerful new technologies.

Free and open to the public (Registration required)
Light refreshments from 5pm AEDT for those attending in person
