6th Annual International Translational Medicine Symposium held at Penn

The article is a glimpse into a conference that is going to take place from October 18-19 at University of Pennsylvania's Medical School. The whole conference is not about personal genomics but a significant portion is--especially towards the beginning of the conference. The specific question that is being posed is: "As access to personal genomic information becomes more widespread, is there more to understanding disease risk and response than simply knowing your genome?" The question is going to be tackled by two different perspectives from across the world. The conference will be streamed online and potentially these speakers will be available for a conference call after their panel.
