On February 28th, UMIB and ICBAS had the honor of hosting Professors Matt Brown (Genomics England) and Emma Duncan (King’s College London) for a joint seminar. These experts are renowned in the field of genomics related to rare diseases, cancer, and endocrinology. During the event, the speakers shared their research experiences and discussed how their work aligns with clinical practice, leading to scientific advancements for the benefit of patients. The event was moderated by Professor Mariana Monteiro and Professor Jorge Sequeiros. The presence of these two researchers not only contributed to the advance of knowledge in the field but also opened doors for future collaborations. As requested by Prof. Duncan, we share the beautiful photograph she captured during their stay at Porto!
