Abstract
Biobanks will have a crucial role in the identification of genes associated with disease — a prerequisite to designing adequate diagnostic and therapeutic tools. To maximize their impact and chances of success, collaboration at a global scale is highly desirable.
This year's "Days of Molecular Medicine" meeting, organized by the Institute of Molecular Medicine of the University of California, San Diego, in collaboration with Nature Medicine and the Wellcome Trust, was the first meeting in this series to be held outside the United States. The venue was the Sanger Centre (Hinxton, UK) and the topic of the meeting was "Integrative Physiology and Human Disease: Neurohormonal and Metabolic Pathways.
