Wellcome Trust School of Human Genomics

This is an opportunity for current scientific leaders to interact with future stars in the field, and for students to learn and be inspired by those that have shaped human genomics in the last decade.

We would all like to see great students tutored in the great way they deserve, by the best minds in the field. With this aspiration, we are organising the 1st School of Human Genomics at the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus from 17-22 August 2008. The School of Human Genomics is a 5-day meeting that brings together prominent human geneticists and senior PhD students.

The schedule of this course is designed to be highly interactive with integrated presentations by the tutors and students, discussions about current topics in human genetics, and one-to-one meetings between tutors and students. We expect that all tutors will stay for the duration of the meeting. Additional events will likely be scheduled in conjunction with the Human Genetics Department at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.
