The National Office of Public Health Genomics presents:

4th CDC Public Health Genomics Collaboration Meeting

Monday, May 12, 2008, 1:00 – 2:30 p.m.

Century Center, Bldg 1825
Rooms 1042-1A and 1042-1B

The National Office of Public Health Genomics (NOPHG) started the Public Health Genomics Collaboration (PHGC) in 2006, a network of CDC professionals working or interested in public health genomics. The goals of this collaboration are to:

provide a forum for the ongoing exchange of ideas and information,
determine points of synergy for improving health impact by using genomics to address CDC goals, and
integrate public health genomics into research, policy, and programs across CDC.

On May 12, 2008, NOPHG held its 4th CDC Public Health Collaboration Meeting. This meeting focused on addressing the need for genetics and genomics training to improve health and prevent disease

The meeting agenda can be viewed below.
