The 1st International Conference on Genomics in the Americas

ICG Americas, modeled after BGI’s popular International Conferences on Genomics held annually in China since 2006, is coming to the U.S. for the first time.

ICG Americas will bring together the unique strengths of two world-class institutions – BGI and The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) – to provide a powerful platform to share ground-breaking research in basic and applied genomics and to advance new approaches to sequencing and bioinformatics.

ICG Americas is uniquely formatted to maximize your opportunities to interact directly with genomics industry luminaries, scientific thought leaders and influential policy makers. Conveniently located in Philadelphia, one of the major pharmaceutical, hospital and medical research centers in the U.S., ICG Americas is organized to create an environment conducive to information exchange, generation of new ideas and acceleration of applications that benefit the life science community. ICG Americas is an opportunity for researchers, academia and industry to exchange ideas, share their latest findings and to form new collaborations in genomics and related fields.
