Global Engage is pleased to announce that the 6th Plant Genomics and Gene Editing Congress, co-located with Microbiome for Agriculture Congress Asia is taking place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 29th & 30th July 2019. The meetings are co-hosted by the University of Nottingham (Malaysia) and Crops for the Future.
Over 120 people joined the meeting in Bangkok last year. It is part of our highly respected Plant Genomic Series held in Europe each May and the US every September and which is attended by over 500 people each year.
With a worldwide reputation, the meeting attracts experts working in all areas of plant science. At this year’s meeting developments in gene editing, NGS and OMICs technologies will all be explored for crop trait development epigenetics and more. Presentations dedicated to plant & soil microbiomes, and the importance of plant phenotyping in the context of bioinformatics challenges, will encourage a holistic approach to plant research.
Specific focus areas include:
Plant research and its associated technologies have improved drastically over the recent years as a result of revolutionary breakthroughs such as new gene editing technology and the reduction in the cost of sequencing. Many plants have now been successfully sequenced and a wide range of biological datasets made available. As a result, plant scientists are now making use of state of the art technology platforms to help explain biological principals, advance research and therefore enable benefits such as crop improvement and breeding techniques.
Should you be either an expert already using gene editing, NGS, or other genomic technologies for plant analysis with a desire to extend your knowledge, or a researcher keen to invest in sequencing / omic technology and looking to learn which platform/technology best suits your requirements – the conference will provide an interactive networking forum to answer your queries through a vibrant exhibition room full of technology providers showcasing their technologies and other solutions, expert led case study presentations, roundtable discussions and panel discussions over four separate tracks.

POSTER COMPETITION – CLOSING DATE IS THE 28th JUNE 2019
The networking I would say is the most useful aspect and also learning of those areas that are at the cutting edge that I wouldn’t know about because I’m not a specialist in that area.

I think the organisation and the quality of the delegates was very good.
Business Development Manager, Bioline
The information was very informative and helpful. I will suggest this event to all of my friends.
Research Officer, Institute Agri-Biotechnology, Malaysia
I really enjoyed the interaction with the other delegates of the conference, and learning a lot about a new generation of technologies, especially third generation sequencing technologies.
Professor, Cold Spring Harbor Lab
