Thu Feb 17-Fri Feb 18, 2011 – Lausanne Genomics Days 2011

Lausanne Genomics Days is an annual event sponsored by the University of Lausanne and the Conférence Universitaire de Suisse Occidentale (CUSO). This 2-day event will bring to Lausanne investigators from Europe, Canada and the United States to present and discuss the newest developments in genomics and genomic technologies and their impact on biological research. February 17 is devoted to “Genomics in Ecology and Evolution” and February 18 to “Genomics in Biology and Medicine”. The February 18 session will also include the announcement of the Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine European Grant winners
