The RSU Institute of Oncology and Molecular Genetics, together with the Latvian Society of Human Genetics and the Children’s Clinical University Hospital, is organising a two-day seminar on the application of multiomics in clinical diagnostics.

Among the invited speakers will be Prof. Tjitske Kleefstra from the Erasmus University Medical Center (Netherlands), who first identified and described Kleefstra syndrome. Presentations on the application of different sequencing technologies (short- and long-read sequencing, DNA and RNA sequencing) will be given by Dmitrijs Rots, F. Ferraro, Līvija Bārdiņa, Egija Berga Švītiņa, and other experts.

Working language: English
