Advanced Applications of Next Generation Sequencing, Pharmacogenomics and Pharmacometabolomics-73109 (Room Georgia World Congress Center - B303)

28 Jul 15
10:30 AM - 12:00 PM

Tracks: Molecular Diagnostics, Pharmacogenomics

Speaker(s): Maurizio Ferrari, Universita' Vita-Salute San Raffaele; Steven Wong, Professor of Pathology and Director, Clinical Chemistry and Toxicology, Wake Forest University School of Medicine

After the session, the participants will be able to: 1) perform genetic testing by classical Sanger methods and the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS); 2) choose appropriate instrumentation and protocols for genetic testing; and 3) define pharmacogenomics and pharmacometabolomics for Personalized Medicine and identify their applications for pain management, transplant and other therapies.
