Conference on Emerging Design and Analysis Issues in Genomic Studies in Population Sciences

Conference Center at Harvard Medical
October 11-12, 2007

The Department of Biostatistics of Harvard School of Public Health and
the Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology of
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute will host a two-day conference workshop
on October 11-12 (Thursday- Friday), 2007, entitled "Emerging Design
and Analysis Issues in Genomic Studies in Population Sciences".  This
conference, supported by a grant from the NCI and NHLBI, seeks to
engage statisticians, genomic epidemiologists and computational
biologists in discussions of design, data, and analysis issues in the
increasing number of genomic studies in the population sciences. The
conference will focus on three important areas and aims at in-depth
and stimulating discussions of major quantitative issues in these
three areas: Genome-wide association studies; Gene-environment
interactions; Emerging "omics" techniques in population sciences.
