6 Nobel Laureates, 300 elite international
speakers and over 2700 delegates from 67 countries - It's the
'Olympics of Genetics'!
The International Congress of Genetics is held just once
every five years. In July 2003 the XIX International Congress
of Genetics will be held in Melbourne, Australia.
A total of 300 elite, invited speakers
will address the Congress. The remarkable lineup of special
guests and speakers at the 2003 Genetics Congress includes
six Nobel Laureates - Sydney
Brenner, Peter
Doherty, Robert
Horvitz, John
Sulston, Susumu
Tonegawa and Eric
Wieschaus.
There will be a total of 54 Symposia
plus a special one day symposium on Human
Genetics and Global Healthcare. A dynamic program of social
events is planned and there are many options for pre-
and post-Congress holiday
packages along with many tours.
A series of satellite
meetings will be held in association with the Congress.
The annual conferences of the Association
for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics, the
Genetics
Society of Australia and the Human
Genetics Society of Australasia will be incorporated into
the Congress.
The Congress will also celebrate the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the structure of DNA. James D. Watson has had to withdraw from the Congress due to the illness of his son. However, an in depth interview with Dr. Watson, prepared just prior to the Congress, will be screened at the Opening Ceremony. Four other luminaries who made seminal discoveries in molecular genetics, including Seymour Benzer, Sydney Brenner, Robin Holliday and Charles Yanofsky will be interviewed live on stage at the Opening Ceremony.
