Genetics Retreat NVHG graduate meeting

The 30th edition of the annual Genetics Retreat NVHG graduate meeting is scheduled for Thursday 4 and Friday 5 May 2023 at our familiar location, conference centre Rolduc in Kerkrade (the Netherlands). Because it is the jubilee edition the retreat will be preceded by masterclasses during a Pre-Retreat on 3 May 2023.
Normally topics range from big data integration and fore-front analytical biostatistics to non-coding variants to artificial intelligence in predictive modeling. The meeting will feature well-known keynote addresses on contemporary societal and academic issues for young scientists.
Since 2015 this event is organized under the auspices of the Dutch Association for Human Genetics, NVHG.

I’m having great memories in attending the Genetics Retreat meetings during my PhD (1993-1997). Always inspiring discussions after my lectures on 'genetics of hyperhomocysteinemia', that also continued in the bar of Rolduc.
