Researcher Name: Nadja Kanellopoulou Project Start Date: 01.03.2005 Project End Date: 01.10.2012 Contact Details: Nadja Kanellopoulou Funder: Background: MAGNet is a capacity-building network for postdoctoral research staff working on medicine and genomics across the ESRC Genomics Network (EGN), and fellow researchers associated with EGN work. The network aims to create and facilitate opportunities for existing postdoctoral research staff to compare experience on current work, exchange views about future projects and establish new collaborations. MAGNet recently organised a network session at the 1st International ESRC Genomics Network Conference, 'GENOMICS AND SOCIETY - TODAY'S ANSWERS, TOMORROW'S QUESTIONS' in London, 25-26 October 2007. The session was dedicated to problems in the interdisciplinary translation of clinical and family research in practice. A pilot workshop was organised to launch celebrate MAGNet as the first network of this kind across EGN, with the support of the ESRC Genomics Forum in May 2006. Members sought to achieve a good balance between discussing research, networking and acquiring new skills in medicine, health and genomics research. Future Diary MAGNet is considering options for a training workshop event in 2008. We are looking for volunteers to get involved in shaping the future of our network. We invite all members and interested colleagues to send suggestions Nadja Kanellopoulou. MAGNet EGN Event 25-26 October 2007 'Translating research on genomics and medicine' - How to make social research on family medicine accessibleFirst International ESRC Genomics Network Conference 'GENOMICS AND SOCIETY - TODAY'S ANSWERS, TOMORROW'S QUESTIONS', London, 25-26 October 2007 Publicity MAGNet EGN Poster, 25-26 October 2007 MAGNet displayed a network poster at the First International ESRC Genomics Network Conference 'GENOMICS AND SOCIETY - TODAY'S ANSWERS, TOMORROW'S QUESTIONS' in London. A copy will be available here shortly. MAGNet Flyer, 26 March 2007 A MAGNet flyer was included in the conference pack of the 4th Cesagen International Conference in London. MAGNet Poster, 18 September 2006 MAGNet displayed a poster on the pilot event at the British Society of Human Genetics Conference 2006. EGN Newsletter Issue 5, March 2007 An article in the News Section of the EGN Newsletter (Genomics NETWORK), Issue 5, March 07: page 9, reports on the pilot MAGNet workshop (May 2006). MAGNet Pilot Workshop MAGNet Capacity-Building Workshop, 9-10 May 2006, Edinburgh Venue: ESRC Genomics Forum Researchers from across the ESRC Genomics Network engaged on projects with a clinical or medical focus were brought together for a pilot workshop in May 2006, in Edinburgh. The aims were to create a forum for these researchers that would encourage productive dialogue about their work, facilitate the exchange of ideas and information, provide opportunities to discuss potential future projects and establish opportunities for collaboration. The workshop, funded in its planning and final phases by the ESRC Genomics Forum, was attended by 25 researchers from various disciplinary backgrounds. Research in progress was presented and discussed, representing the diversity of approaches to genomics and medicine being undertaken by the EGN. Participants took part in focused group work on 'The Challenges of Interdisciplinary Research', a topic of relevance to many social researchers working on projects relating to medical genomics. This initiative has resulted in the establishment of MAGNet that will work to support the community of researchers working in this area. We hope that this network will attract interest from researchers outside the ESRC Genomics Network and facilitate engagement with the clinical and scientific communities in human genetics. The event agenda is available to members. An online forum and follow-up MAGNet events are being planned with the support of the ESRC Genomics Forum.
