Cape Town, South Africa
The African Society of Human Genetics (AfSHG) and the Southern African Society for Human Genetics (SASHG) will be hosting the ICHG 2022 in Cape Town, which will be held from 22 – 26 February 2023.
South Africa has a remarkable history, with the achievement of democracy two decades ago serving as an inspiration to many around the world. This congress presents an opportunity to showcase Genetics/Genomics across the world, bringing together international experts, as well as young postgraduates addressing challenges in human health and highlighting how genomic technologies are being harnessed to address such challenges.
The meeting will offer a diverse, relevant, and cutting-edge scientific program, numerous educational opportunities for trainees, and unprecedented networking opportunities for anyone wishing to understand the current status of genomics and human health.
Cape Town is quite simply a stunningly beautiful city and encourages participants to take a few days before or after the meeting to explore the proximal beauty of Table Mountain and the Peninsula, the Winelands, and the Garden Route. In addition, visitors to Africa should be supplemented with possible visits to other continental destinations e.g. Cradle of Human Kind (South Africa), Kruger National Park (South Africa), Okavango swamps (Botswana), Masai Mara (Kenya/Tanzania), Mt Kilimanjaro (Kenya/Tanzania), or the great pyramids of Egypt before or after the meeting.
The event starts preparing for what promises to be an unprecedented combination of science and destination – and look forward to meeting participants in Cape Town in 2023 – on behalf of the Executive Committees of the African and Southern African Societies of Human Genetics.
