Human Genome Meeting 2019 – “Towards Implementing Genomic Medicine”

Human Genome Meeting (HGM) is a series of annual conferences organised by the Human Genome Organisation (HUGO). It started as a meeting dedicated for Human Genome Mapping. Over the years, with the completion of the Human Genome Project, HGM has evolved from a small targeted meeting into an international scientific conference for all genetic and genomic researchers; an excellent platform for industry partners and bio-technology companies as well as pharmaceutical companies; and a fantastic reunion for fellow scientists and networking opportunity for established and young investigators.

HGM centres on a stimulating and interesting program of plenary lectures, symposia, workshops, poster presentations, lectures and social events. Our scientific program covers a wide range of topics, spanning from system biology and epigenomics to genomic technologies; from drug discovery to gene therapy, pharmogenomics and genomic medicine; from computation genomics and bioinformatics to genetic and genomic databases; aiming to share most up-todate research trends, results, information and databases which often sparks off new collaboration opportunities. HGM also provides an arena for presentation and discussion of more focused studies in human genetics and genomics. Working together with the HUGO subcommittees, there will also be meetings specially catered for discussion on ethics, related impact on society and intellectual property.
