The UConn Houston Alumni Network invites, alumni, friends and family to the Law Offices of alumnus Michael Cantor, of Cantor Colburn for a discussion with Professor Rachel O’Neill on your genetic blue print. Also hear from Interim Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Davita Silfen Glasberg, for a UConn reception and conversation.
As the age of personalized medicine is ushered in as part of a growing standard in health care, technological advances have allowed scientists to study how the DNA code of every person’s genome can inform health care decisions tailored to each patient. Likewise, scientists can tap into the genomes of many different organisms, from land animals to deep sea dwelling creatures, to understand the impact humans have on the global ecosystem. But how much can we really know about a person from their genetic blueprint and how much can that blueprint change - or be changed? In this information age, how does this information impact you, your life, and the world around you?
Event is $10, inclusive of hors d'ouevres, beer and wine.
