HGSA 49th Annual Scientific Meeting

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.
