AgriGenomics World Congress

Check out our 2for1 offer!

Welcome to AgriGenomics World Congress 2013.
With the ongoing heated debate on GM crops, SELECTBIO has invited a range of thought leaders to share their perspective on the unique aspects of technology required to enhance the aesthetics, yield, nutrition and disease resistance of varying crops. As well as this, the conference will cover aspects of disease resistance in livestock and how genetic engineering can increase yield of livestock.The next generation of epigenetics, microarrays and sequencing techniques will be discussed with reference to fascinating current research.

Keynote Speakers

Mario Caccamo
Head, The Genome Analysis Centre
