Infectious Disease Genomics and Global Health
Conference - Hinxton, Cambridge, United Kingdom
The sixth Infectious Disease Genomics and Global Health conference will emphasize the application of genomic technologies to problems of infectious disease in a global health context. Infectious disease is a major burden on healthcare throughout the world, particularly in developing countries. Disease agents do not respect borders; therefore, an integrated global approach is necessary to understand transmission and evolution of infectious disease agents. Recent advances in genomic technologies are delivering new approaches to these problems, and these will be the major focus of the meeting. These technologies promote cross-fertilisation amongst previously disparate fields, and we therefore welcome abstracts covering any area in this field. Please note that several oral presentations will be chosen from the abstracts submitted.
Topics will include:
Epidemiology and public health
Genomics of viral diseases
Genomics of bacterial diseases
Population genomics
Parasites and vectors
Neglected tropical diseases
