American Society of Human Genetics 62nd Annual Meeting
Organizer: American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG)

Dates: November 6-10, 2012

Location: San Francisco, CA (Moscone Convention Center)

Website: http://www.ashg.org/2012meeting/

Abstract Deadline: June 4, 2012

The HGSA has been contacted by the ASHG to encourage our members to submit abstracts and attend the ASHG 2012 meeting. The ASHG does not charge a fee to submit abstracts and is encouraging more submissions from Australia and New Zealand.

The ASHG notes the expense of attending a meeting in the US and in exchange for submitting an abstract the ASHG is happy to extend a complimentary registration to one of the HGSA student members to help offset costs.

To be considered for the complimentary registration, please forward your details and abstract to the Secretariat secretariat@hgsa.org.au by the 4th June 2012. Abstracts will be judged on their scientific merit by the Education Committee and a decision on who receives the complimentary registration will be notified by the end of June.

The 62nd Annual Meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics will feature invited presentations from the world’s leading geneticists, along with a variety of symposia, workshops, and other abstract-driven sessions focusing on the most important recent developments in basic, translational, and clinical human genetics research and technology.
