Conferences
13–18 April 2013, Singapore City, Singapore
Joint Conference of HGM 2013 and 21st International Congress of Genetics
With the increasing size and age of human populations, the burden imposed by chronic diseases on public health and personal wellness is expanding. Advances in disease management will emerge from new insights into the molecular basis of pathologies unveiled by genetic and genomic investigations. Similarly, climate change, resource constraints, and environmental degradation raise the urgency for advanced biological solutions to the economic and ecological challenges posed by the growing and developing world population.
This conference will explore the interface between the health of individuals and the health of the planet. Besides the genetics and genomics of human diseases, including infectious diseases, cellular and gene therapies, personalised medicine, animal models, plant biology, comparative genomics, and basic genetic mechanisms, we will also consider food crop and livestock improvement, ecological genomics, advanced genomic technologies, government policy and the management of a genome centred bioeconomy.
