Neonatal Genomics Webinars

Approaches to Using Rapid Genome Sequencing in Your NICU

Unfortunately, due to factors such as uncertainty from neonatologists as to which patients should undergo genetic testing, a lack of clear steps needed to implement rapid genome sequencing (rGS) in NICU settings and hesitation in using genetic test results to inform changes in patient care, NICU patients with symptoms of genetic disease continue to go untested.

In this upcoming two-part webinar, our speakers will ensure smaller community NICUs have the information they need to implement genomic care and optimize patient health care outcomes.


Approaches to Using Rapid Genome Sequencing in Your NICU Pt. 1 

Oct. 8, 2025, 2:00-3:30 p.m. EST

This webinar will review key evidence in support of the use of rGS for NICU patients as well as key steps to for adding rGS into routine clinical practice in your NICU. After the webinar, attendees will be given a toolkit to assess the current practices surrounding genetic testing in their units, identify key barriers and facilitators to providing rGS and a curated list of resource to support a change in genomic practice at their center.

Approaches to Using Rapid Genome Sequencing in Your NICU Pt. 2

Nov. 13, 2025, 2:00-3:30 p.m. EST

This webinar will review the current state of genomic care in NICUs across Indiana, and discuss barriers that attendees are facing when implementing rGS at their centers and strategies to troubleshoot them with a team of perinatal genomic experts.
