Infectious Disease Genomics Symposium 2024 The One Health Genomics Edinburgh and Edinburgh Infectious Diseases networks are delighted to invite you to a joint symposium - this one-day event, to held on the 6th September in the Nucleus Building at the Kings Buildings Campus, will showcase infectious disease research that takes a genomics approach to explore the interactions of hosts and pathogens.There will be keynote presentations from Professor Johannes Krause (Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig) and Professor Mara Lawniczak (Sanger Institute), alongside a fantastic programme of University of Edinburgh speakers presenting exciting new work in plants, animals, humans, and aquaculture.About Johannes Krause (external link)About Mara Lawniczak (external link)There will also be poster sessions throughout the day, and opportunities for poster pitches by ECRs - please register by 22nd August to submit a poster abstract.
