BIOINFORSALUD 2000 - Bioinformatics, Genomics and Health
	Spanish Society of Health Informatics , Madrid, SPAIN 27-28 January 2000
	The goal of this scientific meeting (working language will be spanish) is to show the state of the art in new technologies for obtaining and analysing genetic information. There will be also a review of the impacts that these new technologies are having in biomedical research, clinical practice and the ethical, legal and social issues associated with the real application of these technologies in the healthcare system, debating the possible benefits and potential risks. The symposium is designed as a multidisciplinar activity where the speakers will try to show a general view of the technologies and experimental approaches included in the scientific program and will transmit to the audience which are the most relevant trends and their use in the health environment (new drug research, diagnosis, public health care, basic research). 1. New technologies for obtaining genetic information  Secuencing the Human Genome  Genetic variability and disease  Polymorphisms. Applications in Biomedicine  Functional genomics  Proteomics  Biochips and bioinformatics 2. Analysis of genetic information in biomedical research  Bioinformatics as a tool in molecular biology research, EMBnet.  Pharmacogenomics  Trends in Bioinformatics. ISCB and National Bioinformatics Network  Integration of genetic information in epidemiological studies 3. Use of genetic information in clinical practice  Molecular Medicine  Genomic information in microbiology  Integrated access to clinical information in hospitals  Integration of clinical and genetic information in molecular pathology of cancer  Medical informatics and bioinformatics 4. Ethical and Legal Issues related to the use of genetic information in healthcare  Genome Information and Law.  Access to the information needed in genetic counselling  Genetic information and Bioethics  Quality assurance in genetic testing 5. Social issues related to the use of genetic information in healthcare  Health professionals perspective  Mass media  Patients view  Public Health Administration point of view
