The 2024 DOM Research Symposium has concluded! The event was well attended with over 100 participants who joined us both online and in-person. The day featured presentations on topics such as genomic-based RNA therapeutics, idiopathic nephrotic syndrome and early detection of lymphoma relapse using ctDNA, alongside engaging poster presentations and networking opportunities.
A special recognition goes to our keynote speakers, Dr. Janet Rich-Edwards and Dr. Marc Carrier. Dr. Rich-Edwards explored whether pregnancy complications can predict and prevent cardiometabolic disease, while Dr. Carrier discussed building a career in cancer-associated thrombosis clinical research.
