Wed. 23 Feb, 2022 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Join the UNC Program for Precision Medicine in Healthcare (PPMH) for Precision Health @UNC: Precision Medicine Approaches to Addressing COVID-19, a free virtual mini-symposium. At this interactive event, you will engage in discussion with leading Precision Medicine researchers at UNC.
COVID-19 has presented enormous challenges to society. Scientists and clinicians across many disciplines have worked to mitigate the spread and effects of COVID-19. This mini-symposium will feature 3 presentations focusing on how data has informed our response to the pandemic: the collection, analysis, and interpretation of COVID-related data.
Melissa Miller, PhD, and Jeremy Wang, PhD, will discuss Real-time genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in an academic medical center. Ryan Kelly will discuss Predicting the unprecedented: An ongoing saga to forecast the impacts of COVID-19 on UNC Health and the communities we serve. Emily Pfaff, PhD will discuss What can we learn from 3.6 million COVID-19 cases?.
