July 14- 16, 2023
3 Day Conference
There is a growing awareness of the societal implications of recent advances in genomic technologies and statistical methodology. The 2023 Symposium in Statistical and Quantitative Genetics will complement the concurrent Summer Institute in Statistical Genetics, and the University of Washington strengths in Biostatistics, Genome Sciences and Public Health Genetics. Leading researchers will present their current work in invited talks. Attendees interested in contributing an oral or poster presentation should indicate this when registering. Submissions are due June 30.

Celebrating Bruce Weir’s Career and Retirement
The conference will also celebrate Bruce Weir's 55-year career in statistical and quantitative genetics, his appointments as professor and former chair of the Department Biostatistics and as director of the Institute for Public Health Genetics at the University of Washington.
