The Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics (CING) is pleased to announce the 23rd Course in Medical Genetics. The CING will be a remote training centre for the course, organised by the European Genetics Foundation (EGF) in Bertinoro, Italy, from 23rd to 28th May 2010. Morning lectures of international speakers will be broadcast live to the CING, include remote real-time question-and-answer sessions with the speakers, and will be complemented by afternoon workshops and events on site at the CING. Owing to the relevance and past popularity of the six-day event, the cost of course attendance in Cyprus by all participants will be covered by the CING, so that no registration fee is required. Topics include

Introduction to Medical Genetics and Genome Analysis
Cytogenetics
Clinical Genetics
New Approaches in Medical Genetics
Complex Genetic Disorders
Neurogenetics
Therapy
Epigenetics
Technology
Ethical Issues 

Further information on the course programme, including local events in Cyprus, will follow in due course. 

With kind regards,
