International Conference of the Genetic Society of Korea (ICGSK) 2024

Event details:

ICGSK 2024 commemorates the 10th anniversary of the Korean Genetics Society hosting an international academic conference. Its aim is to establish itself as a truly international academic conference where not only members from various fields in Korea but also scholars and students from abroad come together.

ICGSK 2024 will host lectures from leading scholars worldwide, including Nobel laureate Yoshinori Ohsumi from the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Professor Dan Kastner from NIH, and Gou Young Koh from KAIS, among others. Additionally, in collaboration with ICGSK 2024, the 1st Asian Genetics Consortium Conference (AGCC) will be jointly held to invite genetic society representatives and speakers from Thailand, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, India, and others, aiming to establish ICGSK as the hub of Asian genetic societies and promote scientific exchange and collaboration among them.

The theme of ICGSK 2024 is "Decoding Genomic Mysteries: Journey into Functional Genomics," focusing on functional genomics beyond the importance of DNA base sequences like ATGC, revealing how genetic codes are involved in actual biological phenomena. Engaging talks on various aspects of genetic mysteries will be presented.
