Hub updates

ELIXIR was at the target validation conference in Heidelberg, Germany last week.

This conference uniquely brings together academics, SMEs and pharmaceutical companies to discuss how we can validate targets using human genomics and informatics in particular.

Serena Scollen (ELIXIR Hub) gave a presentation outlining how ELIXIR is developing solutions to support this area and the vision ELIXIR has for the future. Søren Brunak (ELIXIR-Denmark) gave a talk discussing disease trajectories, gene pleiotropy and protein multi-functionality.
