The Genetics Society of Slovenia and the Slovenian Society for Human Genetics cordially invite you to attend the international conference Genetika 2018, which will join the 8th Congress of the Genetics Society of Slovenia and the 8th meeting of the Slovenian Society for Human Genetics.
The aim of the meeting is to present the latest research achievements in the fields of genetics, molecular genetics and genomics in connection with health, biotechnology, agriculture and the environment. Genetika 2018 will, as a meeting with international participation and with a selection of high quality lecturers, also facilitate direct contact and exchange of knowledge among researchers from academic institutions and industry.
English will be the official language of the congress.
