  • Functional Effects Detailed Research Plan
    GeCIP Detailed Research Plan Form Background The Genomics England Clinical Interpretation Partnership (GeCIP) brings together researchers, clinicians and trainees from both academia and the NHS to analyse, refine and make new discoveries from the data from the 100,000 Genomes Project. The aims of the partnerships are: 1. To optimise: • clinical data and sample collection • clinical reporting • data validation and interpretation. 2. To improve understanding of the implications of genomic findings and improve the accuracy and reliability of information fed back to patients. To add to knowledge of the genetic basis of disease. 3. To provide a sustainable thriving training environment. The initial wave of GeCIP domains was announced in June 2015 following a first round of applications in January 2015. On the 18th June 2015 we invited the inaugurated GeCIP domains to develop more detailed research plans working closely with Genomics England. These will be used to ensure that the plans are complimentary and add real value across the GeCIP portfolio and address the aims and objectives of the 100,000 Genomes Project. They will be shared with the MRC, Wellcome Trust, NIHR and Cancer Research UK as existing members of the GeCIP Board to give advance warning and manage funding requests to maximise the funds available to each domain. However, formal applications will then be required to be submitted to individual funders. They will allow Genomics England to plan shared core analyses and the required research and computing infrastructure to support the proposed research. They will also form the basis of assessment by the Project’s Access Review Committee, to permit access to data.

    27th Northern Cardiovascular Research Group Meeting UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS Committee Organiser: Dr. Hannah M. Kirton Tuesday 30th April 2019 The Great Hall and Parkinson Court University of Leeds Woodhouse Lane, LS2 9JT 1 27th Annual Northern Cardiovascular Research Group Meeting Tuesday 30th April 2019 Welcome to the 27th Annual Northern Cardiovascular Research Group Meeting, which is being held at the University of Leeds. We hope you find the day both beneficial and stimulating. The Northern Cardiovascular Research Group meeting provides a stimulating arena for high calibre scientific content, informative and enjoyable discussions, collaborative opportunities and a relaxed atmosphere within a cardiovascular research community. This annual event has brought together those with an interest in the cardiovascular system since 1991 at the University of Leeds, but has moved a long way from its initial roots in the North of England, and now includes researchers from Bristol, Northern Ireland and Scotland. The NCRG has also proudly recognised and supported students, early career researchers, and more senior researchers, to present their work to a friendly environment, providing a stimulating arena for discussion; and welcomed a New&Notable platform at the Leeds 2016 meeting. This year we also highlight the cardiovascular research of Professor Clive Orchard (formally a University of Leeds academic member and founding organiser of this conference) with research recognition throughout the day. Dr Hannah M. Kirton Cardiovascular and Ion channel Postdoctorate Researcher 2 Sponsors We are very grateful and honoured to receive generous support and funding from the British Heart Foundation, University of Leeds, University of Bristol and Badrilla to allow us to hold this honorary 2019 research meeting.
