There will be a joint SEGEG and International Biometric Society (IBS) meeting on 10th March 2017, held at University College London (directions at bottom). The theme is “Exploiting publicly available genetic data". We have Louise Wain, Jonathan Marchini, Helen Warren, Paul Newcombe and Hugues Aschard as speakers, so it should be a fantastic meeting!

The lectures will be held in AV Hill Lecture Theatre on the main Campus of UCL (please note, we originally advertised a different venue, but that proved too small). The nearest overground station is Euston (overground) and nearest undergrounds are Euston Square (district and circle lines) and Warren Street (victoria and northern lines).
