HUGO Human Genome Meeting 2010

Montpellier, France

Each year the Human Genome Organisation holds its annual human genome meeting (HGM) designed to update and increase knowledge in the ever-evolving field of human genome research. The meetings centre on a stimulating and interesting programme of plenary lectures, symposia, workshops, and include poster presentations and social events which all help to make any HGM the ideal forum to share information and results with researchers in both science and industry. HUGO's human genome meetings are widely seen as 'must-attend' events in the conference calendar.
