The 20th Annual Meeting of the International Conference on Genomics Wuhan (ICG-20 Wuhan) will be held in Wuhan, China, from March 22 to 23, 2025. The ICG-20 Wuhan will continue to uphold the spirit of the Human Genome Project (HGP) - "Owned by All, Done by All, Shared by All", advocating for global sharing, with a particular focus on promoting international cooperation among developing countries. It is dedicated to fostering research cooperation and knowledge sharing on a global scale and injecting new impetus into the innovative development of the genomics field.
ICG-20 Wuhan will focus on a range of advanced academic topics, including ‘cutting-edge omics technologies’, ‘evolution, development and biodiversity’, ‘conservation of endangered species’, ‘crop improvement and germplasm innovation’, ‘biological exploration of extreme environments’, ‘microbial resources mining and utilization’, ‘environmental ecological monitoring’, and more. In addition, this conference will feature the highly anticipated 'AI for Omics' forum, which will focus on the integration of artificial intelligence and genomics technology and explore its broad prospects in life sciences.
Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Jianfang GUI, Fuwen WEI, Weicai YANG, Huanming YANG, Qifa ZHANG, academician of National Academy of Sciences, United States, Harris LEWIN, academician of Australian Academy of Science, Arthur GEORGES, academician of Wolfson College, University of Oxford, James CRABBE and more than sixty leading scientists globally, will attend the conference. They will share cutting-edge advancements of multi-omics and AI technologies, and engage in in-depth discussion on topics such as species evolution, endangered species protection, agricultural breeding, excavation and utilization of biodiversity genetic resources, and environmental and ecological monitoring.
ICG-20 Wuhan is not just an academic conference, but also an important opportunity for global scientists to explore the mysteries of life and drive advancements in science and technology. We sincerely invite experts and scholars from global academia, industry and related fields to gather in Wuhan to celebrate this landmark event, and to work together to create a new chapter in the integration and development of genomics and artificial intelligence.
