壹、背景說明
「歐洲加斯坦衛生論壇」每年約於十月初由奧地利非營利超黨派團體 International Forum Gastein主辦,為歐洲重要的衛生政策智庫,在歐盟亦有舉足輕重的地位,此一對話平台,旨在建造一意見交換空間,會中藉由專題演講、互動討論方式,供產、官、學界人士齊聚研議各種衛生挑戰、政策、重大議題。今年適逢10週年大會,會議主軸為「塑造健康的未來(Shaping the future of health)」,在10月3日至6日的研討會期間,有來自約50個國家之600位專家共同參與,奧地利總理、衛生部長、省長及市長等高階官員並應邀致詞。
自2002年起我國每年均受主辦單位邀請前往,以規劃並協辦平行論壇(Parallel forum)的方式參與,本院衛生政策研發中心為主要規劃者並參加籌備會議,衛生署則贊助經費。此次我國代表團成員包括本中心郭耿南主任、本文作者、衛生署陳再晉副署長、健保局李承華副總經理、國健局洪百薰簡任技正、駐歐盟衛生代表張武修顧問、駐日內瓦衛生代表洪健榮組長、奧地利代表處黃俊彥大使與汪錫麟秘書等。〈更多內容〉

講題:THE USE OF WHOLE GENOME-RESEQUENCING
FOR DISCOVERY AND DESIGN
講者:Bernhard O. Palsson, Ph.D.
Galetti Professor, Dept. of Bioengineering, UCSD, U.S.A.
摘要:
It has now become possible to re-sequence entire bacterial genomes with an accuracy that enables the identification of all mutations relative to a reference sequence. This capability is deployed to compare the genomic sequence of E. coli before and after an adaptation process during which a particular phenotypes is selected for. The genetic basis for bacterial adaptation can thus be determined. This capability is opening up new possibilities for discovery and design. It is likely that we can now study the genetic basis for infections disease, virulence and adaptation of human pathogens.
