LinkAGE Webinar 5

About

The British Society for Genetic Medicine provides a forum for professionals involved in genetics and genomics as a clinical service and research.

As an umbrella organisation, our membership includes a wide spectrum of clinical, laboratory and research disciplines, not only in specialist genetic services but throughout the health professions.

The Joint Committee on Genomics in Medicine

The Joint Committee on Genomics in Medicine is a tripartite committee of the BSGM, RCPath and RCP, with representation from other professional bodies and patient organisations. It provides a unified forum to co-ordinate activities across a wide spectrum of organisations, particularly to promote and maintain the highest standards of practice in clinical and laboratory applications of genetics in medicine and to co-ordinate advice on service issues and workforce planning.

Our next webinar and expert-led Q&A will be on Thursday 11 May at 5.30pm (UK-time). It will tackle the theme of targeted chemotherapy in paediatric oncology. https://www.genomicseducation.hee.nhs.uk/events/linkage-webinar-5-targeting-chemotherapy-in-paediatric-oncology/ Our world-renowned expert is the paediatric oncologist and Sanger Institute senior research fellow, Dr Sam Behjati. Dr Behjati will talk about how whole genome sequencing can be utilised to target chemotherapies more effectively to specific tumours, as well as when clinicians can use genomic data as a guide for when not to use chemotherapies. Those wanting to reserve their seat for this exciting and relevant talk, should complete the registration form today. https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=K5Gn_5ewMUGcD9DoB1Wyqzs8KrvQtqxBviJD5JsVadBUNFdWNlAzVVNJREpaQ1pDV0xVNUkzVkxYMS4u&web=1&wdLOR=cBB216CC1-F715-4252-B25A-ADC6415AC60A
