Fusion Conferences

This conference aims to include recent progress in translating human genetic discoveries into functional characterization of genome wide association study (GWAS) regions that encode risk for complex human diseases. This symposium will highlight a number of exemplary functional studies of GWAS loci, examine how single cell data can accelerate translation of genetic associations, and how we can expand our catalogs of causal genes using the new CRISPR-Cas9 screening tools.

In the last years, there is a great concern about the problem of bacterial resistance to antibiotics used in human medicine as well as in veterinary. The use of antibiotics constitutes an important factor for selection of resistance, not only among pathogenic bacteria but also among the commensal ones. Antimicrobial resistance is a major problem in public health due to the possibility in therapeutic failure. The primary objective of this meeting is to bring together researchers involved in antibiotic resistance prevention and control. The meeting will take an integrated approach to research and it will bring about researchers specializing in different subjects related to antibiotic resistance. We expected to present a universal vision of the importance of antimicrobial resistance in different ecosystems and what can be done about it.
