Genomics and Personalized Medicine

 描述(由申请人提供)：请求支持由Michael Snyder、Leroy E.Hood和Heidi L.Rehm组织的题为基因组学和个性化医学的Keystone研讨会。会议将于2016年2月7日至11日在加拿大艾伯塔省班夫举行。基因组学和其他组学技术在医疗保健中发挥着越来越重要的作用，人们正在开发新的传感器来帮助管理个人健康。在DNA测序技术革命的推动下，现在可以对癌症患者、未诊断疾病甚至健康人的基因组进行测序，以帮助针对特定个人的疾病进行量身定制的治疗。整个领域在技术、数据、管理和分析以及临床应用方面都发展得非常迅速。这次会议的目标是将技术开发领域的领导者、基础科学家、工程师和临床医生聚集在一起，促进人类健康。会议的目的是：1)帮助研究人员和临床医生跟上最新发展；2)促进合作；3)促进新技术的发展，以改善个性化医学。同时召开的癌症基因组会议将大大增加跨学科互动的机会，该会议将与本次会议分享一次主旨演讲和三次全体会议。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Support is requested for a Keystone Symposia meeting entitled Genomics and Personalized Medicine, organized by Michael Snyder, Leroy E. Hood and Heidi L. Rehm. The meeting will be held in Banff, Alberta, Canada from February 7-11, 2016. Genomics and other omics technologies are playing an increasingly important role in health care, and new sensors are being developed to help manage personal health. Spurred by the revolution in DNA sequencing technologies, it is now possible to sequence the genome of patients with cancer, undiagnosed disease and even healthy individuals to help tailor treatment for a specific individual's disease. This entire area is moving extremely rapidly in terms of technology, data, its management and analysis, and clinical uptake. The goal of this meeting is to bring together leaders in technology development, basic scientists, engineers and clinicians to advance human health. The conference intends to: 1) Help researchers and clinicians keep abreast of the latest developments; 2) Stimulate collaborations; and 3) Spur the development of new technologies that will improve personalized medicine. Opportunities for interdisciplinary interactions will be significantly enhanced by the concurrent meeting on The Cancer Genome, which will share a keynote address and three plenary sessions with this meeting.
