Program Specialist
National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) researchers will present four platform talks and 55 posters to highlight the institute's diverse portfolio at the 65th annual meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG).
More than 6,500 scientific attendees and 200 exhibitors are expected to attend the October 6-10 meeting, held this year at The Baltimore Convention Center. ASHG is the primary professional membership organization for human genetics specialists worldwide.
ASHG 2015 President Neil Risch, Ph.D., will kick off the Tuesday evening session with the presidential address: All in the Family - or Gee our old LaSalle ran great, and then moderate the presidential symposium titled, Genetic Epidemiology at Scale: High Throughput Genomics Linked to Large Scale HER Systems. National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Francis Collins, M.D., Ph.D., will begin the symposium discussion by describing the latest developments of the U.S. Precision Medicine Initiative (PMI).
Other noteworthy highlights include a secure, slide-sharing website for speakers who wish to share their slides with fellow attendees. Attendees can also take advantage of social events such as the #ASHG15 "Tweetup" and genetics-themed receptions.
NHGRI staff will be available at exhibit booth #2009 to discuss NHGRI initiatives, extramural grant and training opportunities as well as the intramural research program. A schedule of staff availability will be available at the booth.
The following is a list of NHGRI contributions to the 2015 ASHG meeting (the ASHG program number and NHGRI presenter is provided in bold where applicable; an * represents poster abstracts that received a reviewer's choice ribbon by scoring in the top 10 percent of their topic):
