8th Annual Mutational Scanning Symposium

21st-23rd may 2025

Mutational scanning technologies and Multiplex Assays of Variant Effects (MAVEs) are key to variant interpretation and transform our understanding of the human genome.

At the 8th annual meeting of the ‘Mutational Scanning Symposium’, experts in the fields of functional genomics, protein science, precision medicine, variant interpretation, and computational genetics came from around the world to meet, present their work, discuss new methods and provide insights on the future of this science.

The conference will be a two and a half days hybrid meeting with onsite or virtual attendance. Discussions will center on a variety of exciting topics, including variant effect prediction, saturation mutagenesis, sequence/structure/function relationships and protein engineering, along with conversations about emerging technologies for functional assays and biophysical modelling.
