    SPEAKER(S)

Dr. James Weber - PreventionGenetics, USA

James Weber is founder and president of PreventionGenetics, a DNA testing and DNA banking company. From 1986-2005, Dr. Weber was Senior Research Scientist at the Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation. Dr. Weber discovered microsatellite DNA polymorphisms and he is the author or coauthor of over 200 peer-reviewed publications, nearly all in the field of human molecular genetics. Dr. Weber is an ISI Highly Cited Researcher and coauthor of the 2002 Lancet Paper of the Year.
