MRC Harwell joint meeting

MRC Harwell join MRC Human Genetics Unit researchers in Edinburgh for a joint scientific meeting: April 2018

Researchers at two MRC Units joined forces from 25-26 April to discuss advances in computational genomics, mouse genetic technologies and how model systems can help uncover the function of genetic changes. 

Presentations from Unit researchers were interspersed with discussions on technological advances and challenges, opportunities and limitations in modelling human genetics using the mouse and potential approaches to joint working. Clear synergies between work at the two research Units were apparent and a future meeting will be planned.
