The Evolution of Genetic Counseling and Testing for Eye Disease

Join us virtually with Experts from the Greenwood Genetic Center. When it comes to inherited retinal dystrophies and vision loss, a diagnosis is more than just a name, it is a roadmap. As we enter a new era of genomic medicine, the path from identifying a rare eye condition to accessing life-changing clinical trials has never been clearer. 

OUR FEATURED SPEAKERS:
Meg Keating, MS, CGC, Special Projects Manager & Clinical Genetic Counselor, Greenwood Genetic Center.
Meg bridges the gap between complex science and patient care. With extensive experience in retinal dystrophy and vision loss, she leads initiatives that expand access to genetic services through innovative care models. Meg will discuss the essential role of genetic counseling in supporting patients through the testing journey.

Gavin Arno, PhD. Associate Director of Research, Greenwood Genetic Center & Honorary Associate Professor, UCL Institute of Ophthalmology.
A world-renowned research scientist, Dr. Arno specializes in the elucidation of genetic defects that lead to rare eye diseases. From pioneering whole-genome sequencing to exploring the latest diagnostic breakthroughs, Dr. Arno will speak about inherited eye disease and the future of diagnostics.
