General Information

This timely webinar brings together leading world experts in virology, infectious diseases, and human genetics to discuss the latest research on human genetic determinants of COVID-19 susceptibility and severity. This is one of the fastest-paced areas of research undertaken in modern human genetics and medical history.

During this session you will:

  • Learn about host genetics that affect COVID-19 incidence and Sars-Cov-2 virulence
  • Access latest, cutting edge research on genetic variants ready for clinical practice
  • Explore how human genetic variation may be used to chart COVID-19 disease outcome and management

Participants will have first-hand access to the latest findings in promising genetic variants for disease treatment and management. Discovery of human genetics variants would constitute a major leap in our capacity to predict (and protect) populations at risk, as it would help us understand the intricate host genome-virus interactions and how we may interfere with these to slow down or even stop this disease.
