This event will highlight the cutting edge genomics capabilities we have here at UQ, developed with the support of the Genome Innovation Hub.

The format of the talks will be 15 minutes with no question time; we certainly encourage questions but ask you to reserve these until the networking sessions during the breaks to allow a more productive style of back-and-forth discussion.
