Genome BC proudly presents the Annual Don Rix Distinguished Keynote Address on November 18, 2024, featuring Dr. Sam Aparicio. Between 2006 and 2012, there were dramatic technological advances in the sequencing speed, cost and interpretation of human genomes. This year’s keynote address will explore how these advancements revolutionized our understanding of how cancers begin, evolve and develop drug resistance.
As a result, the development of cancer drugs has accelerated and we’ve created new ways to diagnose and manage cancers that were previously intractable. Dr. Aparicio will highlight British Columbia’s pivotal role in this scientific revolution and discuss ongoing challenges at the frontiers of cancer research.
