🌟 Exciting Announcement: Prof. Paul Thomas to Speak at BioCon Asia 2023-ACGT 🌟 We are thrilled to announce that BioCon Asia 2023-ACGT has secured the presence of Prof. Paul Thomas as a distinguished guest speaker. Prof. Thomas, with a stellar career in genome editing, serves as the Director of the Genome Editing Program at the South Australian Health & Medical Research Institute, Adelaide, Australia, and holds the esteemed position of Professor at the School of Biomedicine, University of Adelaide, Australia. About Prof. Paul Thomas: Prof. Paul Thomas is a leading authority in the field of genome editing. He has demonstrated his unwavering commitment to advancing scientific knowledge and pioneering groundbreaking research throughout his career. Prof. Thomas embarked on his journey in the field of genetics and genome editing by completing a 3-year post-doctoral position under the guidance of the late Dr. Rosa Beddington at the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) in London. In 1998, Prof. Thomas returned to Australia, where he received the prestigious NHMRC Florey Fellowship. With this support, he established an independent research group at the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute in Melbourne, a pivotal moment that laid the foundation for his remarkable career. In 2006, Prof. Thomas made the strategic move to the University of Adelaide, where his expertise continued to flourish. In recognition of his outstanding contributions to science, he was awarded the esteemed Pfizer Australia Research Fellowship in 2008. In 2014, Prof. Thomas achieved the rank of full Professor and went on to establish the South Australian Genome Editing (SAGE) facility, an essential resource for advancing genome editing research in the region. In 2018, he made another significant stride in his career by joining the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute, reaffirming his commitment to pioneering research in the field. Prof. Thomas has left an indelible mark on the scientific community with over 130 published scientific articles and an astonishing 11,000+ citations. His work has not only contributed to the theoretical understanding of genome editing but has also paved the way for practical applications with far-reaching implications for human health. Presentation Highlights: During BioCon Asia 2023-ACGT, Prof. Paul Thomas will deliver an insightful presentation focusing on the development of CRISPR/CAS9 genome editing technology. His talk will explore its diverse applications, including therapies for inherited eye and muscle diseases. Moreover, he will shed light on the efficient generation of bespoke preclinical models for human disorders, a field poised to revolutionize personalized medicine and drug development. 🌐 For registration and further information, visit our conference website: https://lnkd.in/eqnkJcUh or contact bioconglobal@bmapglobal.com. #BioConAsia2023 #GenomeEditing #CRISPR #Biotechnology #ScienceInnovation
