On June 4, 2012 in Philadelphia, Cambridge Healthtech Institute will host its "Next Generation Sequencing as a Diagnostics Platform" course. The focus of this short course will be on understanding the use of NGS in clinical diagnosis, practical implementation of NGS in clinical laboratories and analysis of large data sets by using bioinformatics tools to parse and interpret data in relation to the clinical phenotype.
Faculty:
Madhuri Hegde, Ph.D., FACMG, Associate Professor, Senior Director, Emory Genetics Laboratory, Department of Human Genetics, Emory University School of Medicine.
Birgit Funke, PhD, FACMG, Assistant Professor of Pathology, MGH/Harvard Medical School, Director Clinical Research and Development, Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Partners HealthCare Center for Personalized Genetic Medicine.
The course will be held prior to the start of CHI's Innovative Tissue-Based Diagnostics conference.
