You are welcome to participate in the first Virtual Oxford Symposium on clinical genomic and precision medicine. The conference aims to discuss and explore genomic applications and translations in clinical medicine and healthcare. Faculty includes world leaders in the field of genomic precision medicine. The conference is wholly virtual, open to participants from all of the world.

Scientific Advisory Committee

Professor Dhavendra Kumar (London/Cardiff; Chair)

Professor Sir Munir Primohamed (Liverpool)

Professor Doug Higgs (Oxford)

Professor Sir Mark Caulfield (London)

Professor William Newman (Manchester)

“The Professor Sir David Weatherall Oration”

The new oration is established to mark and recognise landmark contributions of Sir David Weatherall, the Founder Director of the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, in the field of molecular medicine. The scientific advisory committee shall search and recommend a distinguished clinical scientist or molecular/genomic scientist with impressive track record of life long contributions in genetics, genomics and molecular biology with unparalleled application and translation in clinical and preventive medicine.
