The Individualized Medicine Conference is gearing up for it’s second appearance in Rochester, MN. The conference looks to provide a platform for a discussion on what Individualized Medicine is today, the vision for Individualized Medicine in the future, and how to apply Individualized Medicine in the clinical practice.

Plenary sessions feature speakers such as Eric Green, M.D., Ph.D., Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, Howard Jacob, Ph.D., Director of the Human and Molecular Genetics Center at the Medical College of Wisconsin, and Wylie Burke, M.D., Ph.D., the Chair of the Department of Bioethics and Humanities at the University of Washington.

There will also be a pre-conference course, Omics 101, explaining the use of medical genomics information in clinical practice, as well as post-conference workshops on Epigenomics and Microbiome, which are both free to attend.
