SULSA's 2013 Research Symposium will focus on research that has exploited the recent advances in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to generate knowledge and to improve health.

Genetic sequencing facilities are becoming more efficient, more versatile and are generating larger and more detailed data outputs. This means that NGS is now being used to address more scientific questions in the life sciences, and is contributing to significant discoveries. The technology is generating larger volumes of data than can currently be reasonably analysed, leading to novel developments in bioinformatics and questions on what to do with so much data? NGS is also bringing up ethical and legal issues when for example the data it generates originates from patients, children or prisoners. 

SULSA's 2013 Research Symposium will show case results from world-class scientists, who have used NGS as a major route to delivering the data required for their research. Join us to hear from experts in virus evolution, human cancer, stratified medicine, parasite evolution, bioinformatics, and more.

The event will also include a debate by a panel of specialists, including scientists and legal experts, which will explore the human, regulatory and ethical opportunities and issues arising from the NGS revolution. 
 
The debate will be centered around the question:
" Should we be sequenced at birth? "
