HGSA's Annual Scientific Meeting
The HGSA hosts an annual scientific meeting (ASM) which is a premiere meeting providing a platform for demonstrating the latest in scientific and clinical advancements in the area of human genetics. The ASM is an incredibly popular event for researchers, health professionals, scientists, academics and more, working in the human genetics field. Currently the ASM is a three-day event, which is typically preceded by one-day Special Interest Group Meeting. During the ASM, the Annual General Meeting (AGM) is held and our distinguished Sutherland and Oration lectures are presented. Link to our previous Sutherland and Oration lecturers.
The location of the meeting rotates amongst our different branches.
