OFFICIAL INVITATION LETTER

Dear Industry Leader,

On behalf of the Founding Directors of the Stanford Center for Computational, Evolutionary and
Human Genomics (CEHG), we are thrilled to invite you to CEHG Symposium 2016, the annual
showcase of our member labs’ exciting research. This year, the meeting will be held February 29 to
March 1, 2016 at Paul Brest Hall on Stanford’s main campus.

My team is seeking partners and collecting merchandise for the event, and I am writing to request
your support. By becoming an event partner, you will gain a valuable opportunity to connect with
more than 200 attendees in addition to supporting the groundbreaking research of the faculty,
postdoctoral scholars, and graduate students of the CEHG community.

Founded in 2012 by Genetics professor and MacArthur Fellow Carlos D. Bustamante and Burnet C. and
Mildred Finley Wohlford Professor in the School of Humanities and Sciences Marcus Feldman, CEHG
promotes interdisciplinary research at the University with the aim of harnessing the vast potential of
genetics research to improve human well-being. As the home of 32 distinguished Stanford faculty
members and more than 200 postdoctoral scholars and graduate students, the Center serves as a
campus hub of discussion and innovation, bridging the School of Humanities and Sciences and the
School of Medicine. Over the past three years, CEHG researchers have conducted and published
influential studies in the fields of medicine, agriculture, conservation biology, anthropology, and
history, to name a few.

If you have any questions, please feel free to visit the Center’s website at cehg.stanford.edu or the
event website at cehg16.stanford.edu. You can also contact us at cehg-symposium@lists.stanford.edu
or +1.650.725.5067. We would love to tell you more about who we are and what we do. And if you are

Form and follow submission instructions detailed on the form.

We look forward to welcoming you to campus in February.
