Congrès 2026 de l’ASHG

Le congrès annuel de l’American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) est le plus grand rassemblement consacré à la génétique humaine au monde.

L’édition 2026 a lieu du 20 au 24 octobre au Palais des congrès de Montréal.

Cette année, plusieurs équipes de recherche qui utilisent les données et les échantillons de CARTaGENE y présenteront leurs travaux. Au total, 24 affiches mettront en valeur des découvertes réalisées grâce aux ressources de CARTaGENE.

Serez-vous sur place?

Ne manquez pas ces présentations par affiche portant sur des projet CARTaGENE.

Bon congrès!
