Join Dr Cordelia Langford and Prof Dominic Kwiatkowski in conversation with Dallas Campbell for the last in our Genome Lates event, a special Human Genome Project anniversary season. They will be discussing the impact of this vital collaborative effort and the challenges of doing groundbreaking science in times of social distancing.
Cordelia and Dominic are from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, where Cordelia is Director of Science Operations, and Dominic is Head of the Parasites and Microbes Programme. Dallas Campbell is a presenter and author, well known for presenting some of British television’s most popular factual programmes including: Bang Goes the Theory and The Sky at Night.
About this Event
To celebrate 20 years since the landmark first draft of the complete Human Genome, we’ll be exploring some of the groundbreaking work happening at the Wellcome Genome Campus in Cambridgeshire and meeting the people behind the science.
Our free online talks will present personal stories and reflect on breathtaking advances in genomic science, while inviting audiences to discuss and share views of the impact of new discoveries on their lives and wider society, today and into the future.
We’ll hear from our current Campus Institute Directors, people who worked during the earliest days of the Human Genome Project, some of today’s early career researchers, and scientists working to defeat the spread of COVID-19.
The Genome Lates special anniversary season will run from July to November 2020. Sign up to our mailing list for regular updates and booking details.
