European Human Genetics Conference 2022 (ESHG 2022)

The ESHG Conference has two main scopes: to provide a platform for the dissemination of the most exciting advancements in the field of human genetics and to foster the education of the upcoming generation of human geneticists. Plenary, concurrent, and educational sessions, concurrent symposia, workshops, and poster viewing fill in an exciting program. The Scientific Program Committee (SPC) defines the topics, with the goal to update the audience on emerging concepts, mechanisms, and technologies in human genetics, providing at the same time a broad view on the progress made in the different areas of our discipline. Invited talks are given by world class speakers and best abstracts, many of which submitted by young doctors and scientists, are selected by the SPC for oral presentations. The meeting in Vienna will also allow to make direct contacts between scientists and exhibitors, who will present their new product portfolio, with practical demonstrations, to help you in your clinical or experimental work.

Join us for our Corporate Satellite 'Nanopore sequencing: advancing understanding of neurological diseases' on Monday 13th June 2022, 08:30 - 10:00am.

The session will focus on the use of nanopore sequencing to help unravel the genomic, transcriptomic & epigenetic features of neurological diseases. Opening on the structural variation and the epigenetic landscape in Alzheimer's disease, the session will then move on to the full-length characterisation of transcript isoforms in neuroblastoma cell-lines, and close on the identification of novel structural variants in Parkinson's disease.
