About the Canadian Human Genetics Conference

The Canadian Institutes of Health Research - Institute of Genetics (CIHR-IG), in collaboration with the Canadian Gene Cure Foundation (CGCF), is pleased to sponsor the second joint Canadian Human Genetics Conference and Canadian Genetic Epidemiology and Statistical Genetics Meeting. This joint event will be held in Victoria BC.

For the Canadian Gene Cure Foundation, this conference builds on a tradition of 17 previous annual scientific meetings of the Canadian Genetic Diseases Network, and the success of four Annual Canadian Human Genetics Conferences. The Canadian Genetic Epidemiology and Statistical meetings also have a history of six previous conferences prior to this collaboration. This unique combination of expertise will promote scientific excellence and help with the development of collaborations both within — and between — the two areas of expertise.

With an anticipated attendance of over 200 participants — including researchers, clinicians, and trainees — this conference offers unique mentoring, networking and collaboration opportunities. The format of the conference aims to be as intimate as possible. Sessions tailored to each community are planned as parallel tracks in the morning, while afternoon plenary sessions of broader scope will bring communities together through to poster presentations in the evening. The schedule has been designed to maximize networking and socializing opportunities. We hope will be able to join us at this exciting meeting.
