AGBL participated in the Functional Genomics Symposium 2016 which was held at the Qatar National Convention Center, Doha, Qatar.from the 12th – 15th of December. The theme of the symposium was “Nature vs. Nurture” and was organized as part of the Sidra Symposia Series and was directed towards academia, researchers, physicians, healthcare providers and regulatory agents involved in the field of genomics and genomic medicine. At the symposium, world-renowned scientists and clinicians presented state-of-the-art scientific discoveries, and addressed the interactions between nature and nurture and how the genetic patterns may be altered by a life experience, nutrition as well as the surrounding environment. The symposium will also addressed how these interactions are tackled and implemented in health care. Please see below for pictures from the symposium.
