Your One Stop for Academic Updates

On behalf of the Consortium for Globalization of Chinese Medicine (CGCM), it is my great pleasure to invite you to participate in the 22nd Annual Meeting of CGCM (CGCM 2026), which will take place from July 25 to 27, 2026, at China Medical University in Taichung, Taiwan. This year’s meeting is graciously hosted by the College of Chinese Medicine, China Medical University, with Dean Hung-Rong Yen and CGCM–Taiwan Chapter Coordinator, Professor Yi-Tsau Huang, jointly serving as the Co-convenors of the Organizing Committee.

CGCM is a global, non-profit, non-discriminatory, and non-political organization dedicated to advancing the field of Chinese herbal medicine to benefit humankind. Through the joint efforts of academic institutions, industries, and regulatory agencies around the world, CGCM strives to develop platform technologies essential for scientific advancement, facilitate meaningful interaction and collaboration across institutes through information and resource sharing, promote high-quality international research and development, and support both industry partners and regulatory authorities in the scientific evaluation of Chinese herbal medicine products. Ultimately, the Consortium seeks to position Chinese herbal medicine as a cornerstone for future medicine—where the strengths of West and East come together.

The CGCM Annual Meeting has long served as an influential platform that brings together leaders from diverse disciplines to exchange ideas, share scientific progress, and foster collaborative opportunities. CGCM 2026 will continue this tradition by offering a dynamic program featuring cutting-edge research, regulatory perspectives, technological innovations, and global developments in Chinese medicine, natural products, and integrative health. Your support and participation are vital to sustaining the international impact and long-term mission of CGCM.

This event will provide an update on recent clinical and guideline changes across respiratory, infectious disease and critical illness. This event has been tailored to physicians specialising or interested in: clinical immunology and allergy, infectious diseases and microbiology, respiratory and sleep medicine.

Participants will be supported in structured, multidisciplinary reflection on current practice, with an optional pathway to a Category 3 activity.

We would like to invite you to the the 49th Human Genetics Society of Australasia (HGSA) Annual Scientific Meeting to be held at Te Pae, Christchurch, 1-4 August 2026. Our theme is “Ngā Whakapapa Puāwai: Cultivating the Future of Human Genetics in Asia-Pacific”. Our programme will spotlight the exceptional contributions of colleagues from throughout New Zealand, Australia, and the wider region, whose work is shaping ancestry-informed genomic medicine and equitable health delivery in Asia-Pacific. In the spirit of whakapapa — the threads that connect people, places, and knowledge — we are proud to celebrate research, clinical innovation and technology that exemplifies the spirit of collaboration and culturally responsive practice across our diverse region.

Formerly The Nutritional Immunology Across the Lifespan Conference, this returning meeting will focus on how diet affects immunity in diseases such as cancer, obesity, neurodegeneration, asthma, gastrointestinal conditions, and infectious diseases. As a relatively unique program within a rapidly evolving field, researchers studying nutritional immunology will collaborate and create new opportunities for discovery in this field.

With the continued rise in chronic metabolic diseases, there is a heightened interest in understanding the role of nutrition within the field of immunity. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the impact of dietary patterns and specific nutrients on metabolic interactions between immune cells and their environment can have therapeutic applications.

This conference will provide a platform for cross-disciplinary researchers and clinicians to collaborate and develop novel research and therapeutic approaches to improve health outcomes. Investigations that utilize innovative tools or have translational findings will be emphasized. This will include topics such as how diet can impact immune function, the efficacy of vaccines, and cancer therapies. This conference will also examine how nutritional immunology affects the respiratory, neurological, gastrointestinal, and cardiopulmonary systems. This is especially prevalent today, with federal agencies and private industry invested in the importance of nutrition and advancing research-driven therapeutic approaches to the market.

The 2026 MOGA Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) will bring together Australian medical oncologists to reflect on a timely theme:

Reimagining Cancer Care: Is Less Doing More?

In recent years, oncology has found itself at a fascinating crossroads. With ever-deepening insights into tumour biology, immunotherapy, molecular profiling, and patient-centred care, we are beginning to ask a powerful and, at times, uncomfortable question: Are we sometimes doing too much?

We are now confronting the possibility that treatment de-escalation is not just a compromise, but potentially a pathway to more humane, precise, and effective care. This conversation extends well beyond protocols and guidelines. It challenges us to think deeply about patient autonomy, shared decision-making, and what quality of life truly means in the era of personalised medicine.

This ASM will bridge disciplines and perspectives—from surgical oncology to medical and radiation oncology, to palliative care and psychosocial support. We will consider not only clinical evidence, but also the ethical, logistical, and emotional dimensions of doing less. We will look at emerging biomarkers and novel drug targets that allow us to fine-tune therapy like never before. Exploring what it means to personalise care in the truest sense—not just through science, but through listening.

This is not a retreat from excellence—it is a redefinition of it.

We welcome you to join your colleagues for a meaningful MOGA ASM on the Gold Coast from 5 - 7 August 2026.
