Nowgen (the North West Genetics Knowledge Park) invites you to find out how genetic tests are used to identify the most effective drugs for individuals.
One of the applications of this technology is described today in BBC News: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6070202.stm
We will explore a variety of applications and the broader implications for society. We are keen to give the public chance to find out more from experts in the field and, most importantly, have their say. We will be using interactive voting pads to involve the audience and record their reactions.
It is being held on 2 November 2006, from 5.45pm until 8pm at Central Manchester Hospital site - The Nowgen Centre, 29 Grafton Street, Manchester, M13 9WU.
