INTRODUCTION OF THE ICG-19-THA
Dear colleagues and friends around the globe, the organizing committee of the ICG-19 is thrilled to announce the 19th International Conference on Genomics (ICG-19-THA) will be held at the Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok on May 18th and 19th, 2024.

The ICG-19-THA will continue to uphold the spirit of the Human Genome Project (HGP) - "Owned by All, Done by All, Shared by All", advocating for global and human-wide sharing, especially promoting international cooperation among developing countries.

This year's conference promises to be meaningful, featuring not only the traditional academic sessions of ICG but also introducing an intriguing forum - Transformation and Application in Longevity. This session will focus on how advancements in genetic technology can contribute to healthy aging in humans and further explore the profound impacts of this phenomenon on global economies, social structures, retirement systems, and ethical regulations. With global aging becoming a universal challenge, discussions on longevity economics are particularly pertinent, as they not only concern future economic development models but also touch upon the sustainability and equity of human societies. This session will emphasize promoting health span through scientific research and technological means while exploring the development potential and possibilities of longevity economics, providing new impetus for global economic development.

The 19th International Conference on Genomics, with its broad international perspective, focuses on the latest genomic research while addressing significant issues in human society, demonstrating the power and charm of science, as well as scientists' profound concern for the future of humanity. We look forward to this scientific feast, anticipating it will bring new hope and possibilities for the future of humanity.
