SAB News

Meet us in Boston!
Posted 2/9/2009

SAB/Consumer Genetics As a valued member, I want to invite you to join The Science Advisory Board and me at the first annual “Consumer Genetics Show.”  This is part of a new initiative to get The Science Advisory Board Staff out of the office and into the world to socialize with our current membership, and to recruit new members.  In appreciation for the time and thoughtfulness you put into The Science Advisory Board initiatives (study participation, forums, blogs, and general content submission) I am pleased to announce that as part of our sponsorship of this event I have negotiated a significant 20% discount for all current members!  

Join us in welcoming the era of  “personal genetics” as demonstrated by the advent of fast, cheap, whole genome sequencing and the emergence of companies such as “23andMe” and “Navigenics.”  We expect the “Consumer Genetics Show” to be an ideal forum for consumers and industry leaders to discuss issues facing the field: best practices, how to navigate the healthcare system, scientific and technological advances, legal and regulatory challenges, and more.  Of course, don’t forget to come by our Booth to say hello!
