Genomic Discovery and Translation Seminar Series 

The Division of Human Genetics at Cincinnati Children’s invites doctors and researchers to the Genomic Discovery and Translation Seminar Series.

Our purpose is to increase knowledge and discussion about the current analytic and quantitative approaches to understanding simple and complex traits in human and model organisms and the clinical impact of genomic discovery. 

This seminar series includes a diverse range of topics including quantitative genomics, biostatistics, bioinformatics, epidemiology, systems and developmental biology, and their application to clinical questions.

  • When: The fourth Friday of each month (typically no seminar in July, August, November and December)
  • Time: Noon
  • Place: Varies
