NVHG 2025

General information:
 

As every year, the NVHG organizes a conference for all Dutch geneticists to connect, share knowledge, collaborate, and network. The NVHG aims to provide the latest genetics and genomics advancements, from basic to translational research from within and outside of the Netherlands.

How to navigate huge amounts of data in clinical decision making

The focus of our 2025 meeting is how we can leverage the enormous amounts of data from both patients and healthy individuals to enhance clinical decision-making and ultimately improve patient care.

Key topics will include:

·         Challenges in harmonizing variant calling and annotation

·         Interpretation complexities due to genetic background differences

·         Identifying and understanding mosaic variants

·         Translating genomic insights into actionable precision medicine

Confirmed speakers:

Prof. Dr. Hans Clevers on translational research for drug development
Prof. Dr. Ivo Gut on genetic variation and sequencing technologies
Dr. Saskia Lesnik Oberstein on genetic risk for vascular dementia
Prof. Dr. Chris Mason on space genetics

In addition, the Sandkuyl Award, the Best Abstract from the Rolduc Meeting, and the Young Investigator Award will be presented to recognize outstanding contributions in the field.
