Edinburgh Next Generation of Genomics Symposium 2024 We are delighted to announce the Edinburgh Next Generation of Genomics Symposium (ENGoGS24) will be held on 1st October, at the Playfair Library, Old College.We invite early career researchers (from postgraduate students to junior PIs) working in any discipline of genomics to join us to network and showcase their latest research. ENGoGS24 will feature the work of ECRs studying human, animal, plant, microbe, and ecosystem genomics and bring together those using genomic technology or genome information to connect and collaborate across campuses and disciplines.Registration has now closed.
