“Mapping Complex Rearrangements in Human and Cancer Genomes: What are we Missing?”, 16 November

This week's Hudson seminar will be held Thursday 16th November 12pm-1pm in Seminar Rooms 1 & 2, Level 2, TRF Building. 

Our speaker will be Professor Vanessa Hayes, Petre Chair of Prostate Cancer Research, University of Sydney, Adjunct Professor of Medical Genomics, J. Craig Venter Institute, USA, Honorary Professor of Medical Sciences, University of Limpopo, South Africa, Conjoint Professor of Medicine, St Vincent's Clinical School, Faculty of Medicine, UNSW Sydney

She will be presenting “Mapping Complex Rearrangements in Human and Cancer Genomes: What are we Missing?”

Vanessa Hayes is the Petre Chair of Prostate Cancer Research at the University of Sydney and Head and Professor of the Laboratory for Human Comparative and Prostate Cancer Genomics at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research.

Her research interest is in using the variation in the human genome to define human origins and evolution out of Africa, while studying how genome variation triggers, evolves and ultimately defines treatment for prostate cancer.

A light lunch and refreshments will follow this presentation.
