An annual international high-level scientific conference on genetics and genomics, the major event in the Baltics, provides an excellent opportunity to establish and renew contacts in the region.

Due to its interdisciplinary scope, Gene Forum 2019 brings together 18-19 distinguished experts from Europe and US for discussion of the progress in the field. Speakers will discuss wide range of topics from latest advances in genomics and personalized medicine to clinical pharmacology and epigenetics.
