OHGE Community Meeting 2024

Join us for the first One Health Genomics Edinburgh Community Meeting, which will bring together the genomics community  to connect and collaborate with colleagues from across campuses and disciplines.

OHGE is inclusive of all working with genomic technology and information in any field of research across the University, and takes a One Health approach to bring together those working on human, animal, plant and ecosystem health.
