2019 MGI Workshop

DECEMBER 16th, 2019

Join us on Monday, December 16th, 2019 for the first MGI User Workshop!

Present and future users of genetic data from the Michigan Genomics Initiative (MGI) are invited to meet fellow MGI researchers and to learn about the breath and scope of ongoing MGI-supported researchers. Moreover, the MGI genetics team will present our approach to providing high-quality data. We will discuss our near-term and long-term goals and hope to get your input to shape our priorities. We will provide lunch to give present and future MGI researchers the opportunity to network. The workshop will run from 11am to 4pm on Monday, December 16th. The workshop is supported by Precision Health at the University of Michigan and by the Department of Biostatistics. Attendance is free for registered participants.

Location:
University of Michigan School of Public Health
