Cambridge Healthtech Institute is proud to announce the production of four sequencing conferences in one convenient location. Join us this summer (August 19-21) in Providence, Rhode Island for in-depth presentations, interactive discussion groups, short courses, and networking opportunities. Standard registration grants you access to all meetings, allowing you to create an agenda that best fits your research needs. Programs Include:

» Sequencing Strategies for Success 

» Dynamics of the Microbiome on Health and Disease 

» Sequencing Data Analysis and Interpretation 

» Single-Cell Sequencing 

» Plenary Keynote Session

David Galas, Ph.D., Principal Scientist, Pacific Northwest Diabetes Research Institute  Biography 

Before joining Pacific Northwest Diabetes Research Institute, Dr. Galas was Professor and Senior Vice President at the Institute for Systems Biology, Chancellor and Norris Professor of Applied Life Science at the Keck Graduate Institute and Professor and Chairman of Molecular Biology at the University of Southern California. Involved in translating science into diagnostics and therapeutics in several biotechnology companies, he researches human genetics of complex diseases and the development and application of new technologies and computational methods. He has served on the NRC Board on Life Science, among other groups, and is a lifetime Associate of the National Academy of Sciences.

Sherman Weissman, Ph.D., Sterling Professor of Genetics and Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine  Biography 

Dr. Weissman has long contributed to studies of the molecular biology of higher cells, focusing on the globin and MHC loci. Early accomplishments include identification of sequences for transcription termination and initiation for E. coli RNA polymerase and the sequencing of the SV40 virus. His lab has worked extensively on cDNA technology and has been developing methods for genome-scale analysis of individual and small numbers of cells. Widely experienced in genomic technology, Dr. Weissman has co-directed the Yale Center for Genomics and Proteomics, worked to develop technical approaches that can be applied to large-scale analysis, and participated in the NIHGR ENCODE project since its inception.

Yaniv Erlich, Ph.D., Principal Investigator, Whitehead Fellow, Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research  Biography 

Dr. Erlich earned his Ph.D. from the Watson School of Biological Sciences at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in 2010 and has received the Harold M. Weintraub Award, the IEEE/ACM-CS HPC Award, Goldberg-Lindsay Fellowship and Wolf Foundation Scholarship for Excellence in Exact Sciences. His research interests lie in computational human genetics and he was selected to be part of the 2010 Tomorrow's PIs team by Genome Technology.
