Hello Pioneers,

Its been a while. We have been busy trying to make the gateway more useful for the community. We have been trying to reach out to Societies, regional councils, media and tech partners to spread the word around the Gateway. This will help making the Gateway a truly inclusive forum.

We have also finished interviewing a few promising Scientists and innovators who are working on ambitious broad application research themes in genomics. We will feature them in the gateway as soon as we have them ready to be posted.

What has also been keeping us busy are initial thoughts on an ambitious community virtual conference (perhaps mini-conference) on applied genomics.The dates and time are still up for discussion and so are the themes.

Here are some of the initial thoughts for sessions and themes:

If we were to break up the sessions into two parts spreading across two days to keep it light and engaging, here are some thoughts on potentially interesting sessions, if we can pull this agenda together.

Session I - OMICS Saturday (perhaps one or two invited ‘virtual’ speakers for each topic)

* Next-Gen Agriculture powered by Genomics
* Towards a Healthier World - Advancements in Food & Nutrition using Genomics
* Discovery Happens Here - Biodiscovery using genomics

Session II - Personalized Sunday (again perhaps one or two invited ‘virtual’ speakers for each topic)

· Who let these genes out? - Recent advancements and scope of different genome projects- 1000 genomes, personal genomics…
· Genomics of Aging- advancements and progress
· What is next in OMICS?

Its still very early into the planning, thoughts are still broad. We would love to hear from you on your thoughts and ideas. If you would like to contribute, participate, speak or suggest a speaker…that would be fantastic! Together we can make this happen.

cheers,

Ashwin

 HOW Series Application Notes

Are featured application notes written collaboratively with the Genomic Pioneers and the Gateway members. These application notes will be featured in genomicpioneers.com and will be distributed to a large audience through our collaborators and partners like Magazines, Media Houses, Biotech Associations and Societies

Upcoming topics>>

* Best practices for Microarray based study design

* Role of miRNA in Biomarker Discovery

* Applications of Gene Expression profiling in Agriculture

Please keep your suggestions coming in.  If there is an expertise area you would like to share, that would be great!
