This most important conference in the field of human genetics in Europe gathered over 3,600 representatives of the world of science and medicine, including delegates from all European Genetic Societies. Over 250 lectures and oral speeches were given, over a dozen thematic workshops and educational sessions were held. More than 160 exhibitors - the most important and innovative companies related to the human genetics from all over the world - presented their new products. The presence of Genomed S.A., as the only Polish exhibitor, confirms the international significance of the company and the universality of its offer.
