The 5th GenomePT Symposium, which will take place on 1 July 2026 at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon (Ciências ULisboa).
The GenomePT Symposium is the annual meeting of the Portuguese national infrastructure for genome sequencing and analysis, bringing together researchers, infrastructure platforms, clinicians, bioinformaticians, industry representatives and technology providers working across genomics and related omics fields.
The 2026 edition will highlight current developments in:
genome and transcriptome sequencing
bioinformatics and data analysis
clinical and medical genomics
environmental, biodiversity and pathogen genomics
emerging genomic technologies and methodologies
The programme will include invited lectures, selected oral communications, poster presentations and technology-focused sessions from industry partners. It will also feature a dedicated session on the future of genomic medicine in Portugal, bringing together representatives of strategic national initiatives currently under development, including the recently funded i3S Teaming project and the National Strategy for Genomic Medicine, whose public consultation phase has recently concluded.
We welcome abstract submissions within the broad area of genome/transcriptome sequencing and analysis.
