CiMUS Celebrates DNA Day with a Keynote Lecture by Dr Ángel Carracedo and a Round Table with Leading Researchers.

On the occasion of DNA Day (25 April), the Singular Centre for Research in Molecular Medicine and Chronic Diseases (CiMUS) at the University of Santiago de Compostela is organising a special event dedicated to scientific outreach and advances in genomics.

The event will take place on 25 April at the CiMUS Theatre room, starting at 11:00 am with a keynote lecture by Prof Ángel M. Carracedo, one of the most internationally recognised geneticists. His talk, entitled "From the Human Genome Project to the Galicia Genome Project", will cover the journey from the first global genetic maps to current initiatives to study the genome of the Galician population, with direct implications for health and personalised medicine.

A round table will be held after the lecture, featuring Dr Carracedo himself, and other CiMUS researchers such as Dr José M. Tubío and Dr Miguel G. Blanco. The meeting will be moderated by fellow researcher Dr Ricardo Villa-Bellosta, who is also coordinating the event.

With this event, CiMUS reaffirms its commitment to excellence in research and scientific outreach, inviting the entire university community and the general public to reflect on the impact of genetics on our lives.
