Genomics and Proteomics in Kidney and Urologic Diseases: Presentation Slides

The availability of the complete sequence of the human genome is changing the face of science and the scientific discovery process. Investigators need to be trained in the new technologies and methods that have burst upon the scene in only a few years. Genomics and Proteomics in Kidney and Urologic Diseases, a conference sponsored jointly by the American Society of Nephrology, the American Urologic Association, the American Society of Transplantation, and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases of the National Institutes of Health, was held July 8-10, 2001, in Washington, D.C., to present state-of-the art methods in genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics. These methods will simplify gene discovery and identify gene function in kidney disease in the post-genome era.

Several of the conference speakers have made their slide presentations available in pdf files.
