Research Seminar: Professor Rajesh Thakker and Rowan Howell

The Genomics England Research Seminar series is a season of events held to demonstrate the best research from Genomics England and our partners. They started in October 2018, and are monthly, free-to-attend talks presented by Research Network members on the latest research being performed using data from the National Genomic Research Library.

This month's seminar speakers will be:

Professor Rajesh Thakker: Adapter protein 2 sigma subunit (AP2S1) mutations associated with neurodevelopmental disorders.

He is also a Fellow of Somerville and Harris Manchester Colleges, Oxford. Additionally, he serves as the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research (JBMR).

Rowan Howell: Translating Oxford Nanopore Technology Whole Genome Sequencing into clinical practice for cancer patients.

Rowan is a Genomic Data Scientist at Genomics England focusing on cancer long reads.

About the research seminars

The seminars will be held on the last Tuesday of each month at 2 to 3pm. These will be online sessions open to everyone and free to attend, we hope to have representation from across the Research Network, Discovery Forum and 100,000 Genomes Project participants as well as anyone else who would be interested in joining.
