Dear friends/delegates,
Greetings from the Organizing Committee of the 12th Asia-Pacific Conference on Human Genetics (APCHG 2017).
On behalf of the local organizing committee, we are pleased to invite you to participate in the 12th Asia-Pacific Conference on Human Genetics (APCHG 2017) to be held from November 8 (Wednesday) -10 (Friday), 2017 at the Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel & Towers in Bangkok, Thailand.
The theme of the conference will be on “Genomic Medicine and Clinical Practice”, focusing on a wide range of topics from basic to advanced genetics. The scientific committee is planning a stimulating academic program including workshops, plenary lectures, symposia and oral presenta-tions, to keep you updated with the latest innovations and research in the fields of Genetics and Ge-nomic Medicine. The organizing committee is looking forward to the participation of clinical geneti-cists and health professionals with special interests in genetics and genomics.
We also would like to invite you to the vibrant, dynamic, yet culturally rich city of Bangkok. The conference will be held on a beautiful riverside location within a week of the enchanting Loi Krathong (lantern floating) festival, enabling you to experience the best that this city has to offer. Bangkok is also a convenient transportation hub, making it an easy-to-reach destination, as well as an ideal base for exploring the rest of Thailand and Southeast Asia. Besides the conference, please do spare some time to explore Bangkok, and beyond, and be enchanted.
We very much look forward to welcoming you in Bangkok in 2017.
