Genomics at Edinburgh launch event

We are delighted to invite you to the launch event of Genomics at Edinburgh, a new network at the University whose aim is to connect researchers using genomics in their research, create new opportunities for collaboration and networking, and promote our work internally and externally.

Due to the current pandemic, this event will be held online, but we hope that you will join us and keep connected with others across the Genomics at Edinburgh community.

The meeting will be held on Thursday September 16th between 9:15am and 1:15pm.
