The Young People’s Genomics Cafes are aimed primarily at the 16 to 25 age group and are run by Wales Gene Park with Genomics Partnership Wales.
This event was held on 26th May 2021 and provided the opportunity to ‘Meet the Professional’ working in the area of genetics and genomics. Recordings of the talks can be found below and include:
- Meet the Researcher working on rare, genetic conditions – Dr Laura Thomas, Swansea University
- Meet the Biomedical Scientist – Bree Gatica-Wilcox, Pathogen Genomics Unit, Public Health Wales
- Meet the Genetic Counsellor – Louise Gillies, & Gabriela Juma, All Wales Medical Genomics Service
- Meet the Doctor specialising in Genetics/Genomics – Dr Ollie Murch, All Wales Medical Genomics Service
The cafés are a relaxed opportunity to find out about new advances in genomic medicine in Wales and a chance for young people to meet, come together, and let us know how we can better support those affected by rare or genetic conditions.
If you are interested in attending future cafes or would like to find out more, please email walesgenepark@cardiff.ac.uk
