Once again we have some excellent speakers with Sir John Bell and Dame Sue Hill providing keynote addresses.

Charles Swanton will highlight how precision medicine in cancer is moving forward and this year there will be sessions on the latest advances in gene based therapies and rare diseases. Early career researchers will present their cutting edge work, and a patient will give an insight of their experience of genomic medicine.

The meeting attracts leading representatives from academia, healthcare and industry sectors, regulators, and patients, so is an ideal opportunity to forge multidisciplinary network partnerships.

Each year the meeting is a sell-out and all proceeds from the event go to funding our endeavours of promoting the use of personalised medicine in the clinic to provide patients with improved healthcare.
