State-of-the-Art Webinar Series in Cardiovascular Disease 2011
Presented by The American Heart Association's Functional Genomics and Translational Biology Council and Circulation Cardiovascular Genetics
The State of the Art Webinar Series 2011 provides critical insight into why genetics, genomics and translational biology are important in clinical and basic science. Webinars will be presented quarterly starting with Jan. 21, 2011, and continuing April, July and October.
After completing this series of webinars, participants will be able to:
- Discuss the potential of pharmacogenomics in the management of cardiovascular disease.
- Describe the role of epigenetics in cardiovascular disease and the implications for clinical practice.
- Discuss current technology used to sequence DNA and genomes and the implications for clinical practice.
- Describe the role of miRNA in cardiovascular and vascular disease.
