Showcasing diverse research at the 2023 Precision Health Symposium
The first ever Precision Health Symposium was held on February 2, 2023 and attended by close to 120 faculty, clinicians, researchers, learners and staff across precision-health related disciplines. The Symposium highlighted important research in precision health through presentations from the keynote speakers and PH Catalyst Grant award recipients, a poster session, and breakout sessions showcasing resources and tools available to support PH research.
Keynote speaker Dr. Nadine Caron, a member of the Sagamok Anishnawbek First Nation, Co-Director of the UBC Centre for Excellence in Indigenous Health, and a professor in the Northern Medical Program and Department of Surgery, presented on “Searching for equity in genomic research and precision medicine”. Guest keynote speaker Dr. Michael Snyder from Stanford University spoke on “Transforming healthcare with big data”.
We thank all who attended the Symposium and look forward to providing more opportunities to showcase precision health research at UBC in the future. We also acknowledge support from the event sponsor, Genome BC.
