Event: Genes for Health

Genes for Health
2-6 May 2009
Fremantle, Western Australia

Rapid advances in medicine in general, and genetic research in particular, has led to the development of a chasm between new discoveries and the translation of these to public health benefits.

Genes for Health 2009 represents a synergistic collaboration between the Human Genetics Society of Australasia (HGSA), an organisation dedicated to genetic and clinical sciences, and the Genome based Research and Population Health International network (GRaPH-Int), a global enterprise that aims to help transform knowledge and technologies into public policies, programs and services for public health benefits. Genes for Health is GRaPH-Int’s inaugural conference and we are tremendously excited at the opportunity to combine this landmark event with HGSA’s 33rd annual scientific meeting.

Genes for Health 2009 will accommodate a broad range of interests including basic genetic science, clinical genetics and genetic counseling, genetics education, genetic epidemiology, bioinformatics, social science, bioethics and health policy.
