Australian symposium scheduled for October

International experts in nutrition, genomics, bioinformatics and milk research will gather in Sydney, Australia 14-16 October for the fifth International Symposium on Milk Genomics and Human Health.

Organised by the California Dairy Research Foundation (CDRF), the three-day event will feature sessions focusing on the bovine genome, evolution across genomes, lipids as the next beneficiary of genomics, milk research from down under as well as updates from researchers throughout the world and the International Milk Genomics Consortium (IMGC). A complete speaker program will be announced in late June/early July.
Since the inaugural Milk Genomics Symposium in 2004, the event has attracted researchers from more than 24 countries to discuss current and future genomic research of mammalian milk and its related health benefits and led to the development of the IMGC, a partnership of companies and academic organisations.
