27-29th August, 2025
Vietnam International Conference on Genome Biology 2025
Beyond the Genome: The Omics Era and Its Impacts
A Few Words
About The Event
Beyond the Genome: The Omics Era and Its Impacts
General Theme
Genome, all genetic information of a virus or an organism, has long been the key for understanding our biological world and solving biological related problems. The advent of high-throughput sequencing technologies has ushered in the era of omics, expanding our understanding beyond the genome to encompass the entire spectrum of biological molecules and their interactions, aided by the development of Bioinformatics tools for the analysis of the enormous and robust data generated. Along with this development comes its multifaceted applications to Medicine, Agriculture, Industry, and the environment.
Objectives
- Promote Genome Research in Vietnam
- Provide a platform for enhancing research collaborations
- Leverage omic-based research data to address critical global challenges from agriculture, environment to medicine
- Provide a platform for academics, researchers, industry leaders, and practitioners to share their knowledge and foster international collaborations.
Furthermore, this event aims to strengthen the Vietnam Omics Network as a foundational step toward establishing the Vietnam Omics Association, promoting high-throughput research to benefit science, education, training, and industry. When researchers can develop themselves, the associated education and industries will flourish!
Areas
The VICGB-2025 welcomes papers in areas of Plant Genomics, Human Genomics, Microbial Genomics, Animal Genomics, Other Omics Studies and Associated Analyses.
Topics
- Omics in Animal and Human Research
- Omics in Microbial Research
- Omics in Plant Research
- Bioinformatics and Bio-AI
Highlight
