Call for Speaker Proposals
第1屆
Genomic Screening and Diagnosis
生染色體組篩選和診斷學會
2月21日∼23日
該學會聚焦於基因檢驗與應注意診斷的新世界，思考產前檢查、新生兒檢查、成人檢查等現場進行的作業，並檢討查出罕見疾病和一般疾病相關的基因突變等各種技術。此外，亦介紹各國的生染色體組分析中心和研究機關、醫院、集中檢驗中心等進行基因檢驗的成功例子。該學會的目的為概觀生染色體組篩選領域，同時表明技術面、倫理面、法規面的問題等應儘速因應的主要課題，亦預定進行有關篩選手續的方針和引進的判斷基準等討論。
Who Should Attend: VPs, Directors, Managers, CEOs, CSOs, Professors and Scientists from Large Pharma, Biotechs and Academia working in fields such as Genomics, Healthcare, Pathology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Biotherapeutics, R&D, and Pharmacogenomics.
Topics will include, but are not limited to:
- Discovery of rare and common disease genes
- Preconception testing
- Diagnostic testing
- Which disorders should be included in a screening program?
- Reimbursement for screening – who pays and how?
- Who should be screened?
- What are the potential risks of screening?
- Compare use of
- Exome sequencing

- Whole genome sequencing
- Next generation sequencing
The deadline for submission is July 29, 2011.
All proposals are subject to review by the Scientific Advisory Committee to ensure the highest quality of the conference program. Please note that due to limited speaking slots, preference is given to pharmaceutical and biotech companies, regulators and those from academia. Additionally, vendors/consultants who provide products and services to these biopharmaceutical companies are offered opportunities for podium presentation slots based on a variety of Corporate Sponsorships.
