Three Decades of Genomics:  From PCR to Precision Medicine

April 24 @ 12:30 April 25 @ 14:30 CEST

Ann-Christine Syvänen moved from Helsinki, Finland to Uppsala in 1998. In 2001 she was appointed professor in Molecular Medicine at the Department of Medical Sciences at Uppsala University. After 20 years as a research group leader and director of the SNP&SEQ Technology Platform, followed by five years as senior professor at Uppsala University, she retired in 2022. This open symposium brings together her former colleagues from Finland, as well as coworkers and former students in Uppsala to celebrate the progress in Human Genomics during the past three decades and future prospects for Genomics in Precision Medicine.
