Supporting The National Research Community
In the context of the Festival delle Scienze, Prof. Iain Mattaj, Director of HT and Prof. Nicole Soranzo, Head of the Genomics Research Centre – Population & Medical Genomics Programme, share an update on Human Technopole’s research activity and upcoming plans to collaborate with the national community on the creation of population cohorts to support genomics research. During their talk they will discuss why we need genomics research to inform medicine and why it’s important to understand a population’s genetic structure.
The event took place on Thursday 25 November at 5.45 pm.
