Lunch Symposium
Baylor Genetics will host a lunch symposium on Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 12:15 p.m. EST in room 314-317 featuring Christine Eng, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Chief Quality Officer at Baylor Genetics and Sabrina Southwick, MS, CGC, Prenatal Genetic Counselor at Johns Hopkins. The session, Reimagining Genomic Testing Across the Care Continuum (from Prenatal to Postnatal), will explore how genome sequencing and complementary technologies may provide additional diagnoses, insights, and utility across prenatal and postnatal settings. CEUs will be offered.
“Advances in genomics continue to reshape how we approach complex and rare diseases by helping clinicians identify underlying genetic causes earlier and opening new possibilities for more informed patient care,” said Dr. Christine Eng. “We believe the data we’re sharing at this year’s NSGC conference reinforces the diagnostic and clinical utility of a genome-first approach to care. By leading with genome sequencing and layering in advanced multi-omic and multimodal technologies as needed, we have the potential to uncover clinically meaningful insights that may be missed by conventional testing alone and could accelerate the path to diagnosis for more patients.”
Baylor Genetics has an experienced team of genetic counselors to help navigate testing options, test results, and next steps. The company also recently launched a new patient education hub, which serves as a centralized resource designed to give patients and caregivers clear information and guidance throughout the genetic testing journey.
Baylor Genetics will be exhibiting at booth #1376. For more information about Baylor Genetics’ presence at the NSGC meeting, please visit: https://www.baylorgenetics.com/conferences/nsgc-2026/. Updates will also be shared on the company’s LinkedIn channel throughout the meeting.
