The Symposium

The purpose of the event is to highlight recent advancements in genetics, inspire students to further their interest in genetics, and show the breadth and expansive nature of the field. We strongly believe the symposium will be incredibly interesting and inspiring, and the breakout rooms on computational genetics, medical genetics, and genetic counseling will encourage discussion and debate between attendees, enhancing the learning experience and connections within the community.

The event will consist of a brief overview of genetics, two keynote speakers, breakout rooms discussing interdisciplinary fields within genetics, and a panel discussion with all of the breakout speakers. There will be a break before the breakout rooms in which food and drinks will be available.
