Symposium on Biomedical Science and Medicine in the Next 50 Years

What will medicine look like in the next half century? What role will genetics play? And how will advances in personalized medicine affect our children and grandchildren?

Some of the world’s best scientists and physicians speculated on these and related questions July 31 at a one-day public symposium co-produced by The Jackson Laboratory and Johns Hopkins University in Bar Harbor, Maine.

The symposium capped the 50th anniversary of the Short Course on Medical and Experimental Mammalian Genetics, which has trained more than 4,000 geneticists and doctors and bridged the knowledge gap between mouse genetics and human genetics.
