The “Genomics in Ageing and Disease” conference will be conducted at the University of Essex (Colchester, UK) on the 16th September, 2024. This one-day meeting follows from two previously successful events run at Essex in 2017 and 2019.

This year our workshop will cover genomics research in diseaase and ageing, and is organised by the Genomics and Computational Biology Group from the School of Life Sciences at the University of Essex. We will be hosted in the Essex Business School at the University.

We are delighted to welcome Professor Peter Fraser from Enhanc3D Genomics as our keynote speaker with a number of other exciting invited speakers to make up the programme for the day. Please find these listed below.

Registration is free but mandatory. We also welcome submissions of abstracts for talks or poster presentations. Contributions from early-career researchers are particularly welcome. If you would like your abstract to be considered please complete registration and submit your abstract to gate@essex.ac.uk by the 1st September.
