Welcome

Dear Members of the Genomics Scientific Community,

We would like to invite you to attend the Human Genome Meeting (HGM 2022) - The Next Frontiers in Genomics - which will take place at the Dan Tel Aviv Hotel in Tel Aviv, Israel on May 23-25, 2022. 

As many of you know, the original meeting was scheduled to take place in February 2021;  however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we had decided to postpone the meeting to a date we hope all of you will be able to attend.

HGM 2022 will have, with your help, a captivating program of plenary lectures, symposia, workshops, poster presentations, lectures and social events. Our scientific program will cover a wide range of topics in human genomics to share the most up-to-date research trends, results, information and databases, which often sparks off new collaboration opportunities.

We plan to create a memorable, extraordinary conference in Tel Aviv, which is considered to be the liveliest city in the region - The City that Never Sleeps. This will be the very first time that an HGM is held in Israel and we look forward to welcome its participants to Tel Aviv for an experience of a lifetime.

Our sessions will cover the following:

  • Genome organization & high-order interactions
  • Microbiome and the genome – where is the junction?
  • Biobanks, databases and impact on precision medicine
  • Convergence of genomics and immunology
  • Ancient human genomes
  • Cancer genomics
  • AI in health and medicine
  • Integrating metabolism and disease
  • Genetics and epigenetics of health and disease
  • Organoids, cell and gene therapy
  • Genomic ethics

We look forward to seeing you in Tel Aviv in May 2022!
