Research Students' Conference in Population Genomics 2024 Conference information The field of population genomics is one of the fastest growing areas of interdisciplinary research. It is the culmination of the developing relationship between big data, mathematics and biological understanding. The Research Students' Conference in Population Genomics 2023 intends to address every facet of this emerging field through interdisciplinary collaboration. There is much recognition that the field of population genomics is multidisciplinary, and that many research groups are sparsely distributed throughout the UK. The organisers aim to bring research students working in a range of genomic and health related fields together for a three-day conference which will look at the themes: evolutionary networks, causal effect estimation and pathogen genetics. The conference will be a formal and structured setting for postgraduate researchers, in which research can be discussed without the pressure of large number of late-stage career researchers being present.
