European Mathematical Genetics Meeting 2002
The 30th annual European Mathematical Genetics Meeting (EMGM) will be
held in Sheffield (UK) from the Saturday 6th - Monday 8th April 2002.
The meeting will begin at lunchtime on the Saturday and finish at
lunchtime on the Monday to avoid too much overlap with the meeting in
Cambridge that precedes this.
The meeting will consist of two days of talks and posters covering all
areas of mathematical genetics with a mixture of submitted abstracts and
some invited speakers. Areas covered include genetic epidemiology,
population genetics, association and linkage studies, QTL mapping,
complex diseases and phylogenetics.
There will be an invited talk given by Elizabeth Thompson (sponsored by
AstraZeneca) entitled "Monte Carlo estimation of multipoint linkage lod
scores". Other invited speakers are still to be finalised.
The registration fee for EMGM 2002 will include breakfast, lunch and
dinner, the conference meal, refreshments and en suite accomodation on
the Saturday and Sunday nights. The cost will be 180 pounds (sterling)
per person. All registration forms must be received by 11 February 2002.
Sheffield is the fourth largest city in England and is located in South
Yorkshire on the edge of the Peak District National Park. It is just
over two hours by train from London, just over one hour by train from
Manchester Airport and a few minutes drive from the M1 motorway.
Stephenson Hall, where the meeting will be held, is the oldest hall at
the university, dating back to the early nineteenth century and is set
in delightful lawns and gardens.
