The three-person panel discussion on genetic testing (GENETIC TESTING - THE ULTIMATE MATCHMAKER on July 3, 2009) drew more than 150 attendees to swissnex San Francisco, most of whom stayed long after the moderated discussion and Q&A to talk to the speakers and network amongst themselves. The event was filmed by FORA.tv, an online video source for smart programs, and posted on the swissnex San Francisco website as well as on our FORA.tv channel. This allows the event to be viewed via the Internet by those who couldn’t make it, and to be revisited again and again by those who participated and attended.

Panelists (left to right): Prof. Georg A. Hollaender, Head of the laboratory of Pediatric Immunology at the University of Basel, Elissa Levin of Navigenics, and Dr. Alan Trounson, Director of the California Center for Regenerative Medicine, with journalist Evan Ratliff (moderator).
