The Human Genome Organization (HUGO) will hold HGM2005 (HUGO's 10th International Genome Meeting) in Kyoto from April 18-21, 2005. HUGO's annual HGM meeting is the flagship international conference of HUGO and is held in various cities around the world. The Human Genome Organisation (HUGO), is an independent, international organization of scientists involved in human genetics. HGM2005 is an opportunity for academic and industrial researchers studying and developing in advanced areas of genetics to come together on an international level.

With genome research supported by the remarkable development of analysis techniques by industry, government, and academia on a global cooperative scale, the international effort to sequence the human genome was successfully achieved in 2003.

HGM2005 will focus on, 'From Genome to Health"and will consider the hopes for new approaches to medicine and the implications of new research for society. Leading researchers in the field will be presenting their most recent data and topics vary from an exploration of the differences and similarities in the ape and the human genome and human diversity and evolution.

The conference consists of a series of plenary, symposia and workshops "with the workshops giving the opportunity to many young researchers to present their work to a global audience.

While the human genome was being analyzed, especially in Europe and in the United States, many venture companies were established. These are now thriving and developing new businesses, which will exert industrial influence globally into the future. Many local and international companies will be attending and exhibiting their latest products and services at HGM.

In order to attend HGM2005, advance registration is mandatory. It is strongly recommended that you register early.
