On October 20th, the Vietnam International Conference on Genome Biology (VCIGB 2023) took place at International University – VNU- HCM. On October 20th, the Vietnam International Conference on Genome Biology (VCIGB 2023) took place at International University – VNU-HCM.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The conference, with focus on Genome and Big Data Analysis: Current Status and Future Directions, was organized into three distinct sessions of Medicine, Agriculture, and Omics study & Big Data analysis. Although this was the first conference, the Organizing Committee has received more than 30 submissions from Vietnamese and foreign scholars participating in the Conference.<\/p>\n

The Vietnam International Conference on Genome Biology attracted many experts and students.<\/em><\/p>\n

Assoc. Prof. Dinh Duc Anh Vu – Vice-President of IU – said: \u201cThe Organizing Committee, IU’s Board of Leaders, and the Research Center for Infectious Diseases (RCID) are honored to welcome all distinguished guests, who are also leading experts in the field of Genome Biology in Vietnam to the Conference. We hope to bridge the gaps so that researchers can freely share and discuss emerging topics, further promoting research conducts and contributing to society the novel technologies in the field of Genome Biology\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Assoc. Prof. Dinh Duc Anh Vu – Vice-President of IU – delivered his opening speech.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Assoc. Prof. Nguyen Phuong Thao – Director of the Research Center for Infectious Diseases (RCID) – welcomed the scholars to the Conference.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Prof. Phan Tuan Nghia – Faculty of Biology, University of Science – Vietnam National University, Hanoi – shared the purposes and objectives of Conference.<\/em><\/p>\n

Specially, the Conference was honored to receive the sponsorship from VinIF, DKSH Vietnam, GeneSmart, BCE Vietnam, Qmedic, United Scientific, Viet Nguyen Technology and Science, PHUSA Genomics, VNTAB, JSC., Life Sciences, Lan Oanh Scientific Instrument, and Nam Khoa Biotek.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Assoc. Prof. Dinh Duc Anh Vu and Assoc. Prof. Nguyen Thi Thu Hoai – Vice Director of the Research Center for Infectious Diseases (RCID) – gifted the sponsors with lovely bouquets.<\/em><\/p>\n

To begin the morning session, one of the three keynote speakers, Dr. Michael Otto – Senior Investigator at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, NIH – presented his work on \u201cIntegrating omics into functional molecular investigation: Examples from staphylococcal and streptococcal infectious diseases research\u201d. Specifically, Dr. Otto, with the findings from three previous studies on infectious diseases, pinpointed how\u00a0Omics analyses were the necessary tools to decipher previously unrecognized functions of specific bacteria within the microbiome or human genes in the context of infection.<\/p>\n

Specially, at the Conference, Prof. Nong Van Hai – Chair of the Science Committee, Institute of Genome Research, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology – talked about the status quo of Genome studies in Vietnam. In his talk, Prof. Nong Van Hai told the audience about many important milestones in the journey to study the Vietnamese genomes from the first 10 complete mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA genomes) of 10 Vietnamese individuals from 3 ethnic groups Kinh, Tay and Muong to the 1K genome project with 1000 Vietnamese genes sequenced by the Vingroup Big Data Institute. “Nevertheless, due to the shortage of resources, the Genome studies in Vietnam still require more domestic and global collaborations in order to thrive in the future<\/em>\u201d – Prof. Nong Van Hai said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Prof. Nong Van Hai – Chair of the Science Committee, Institute of Genome Research, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology – received a lovely bouquet from Assoc. Prof. Nguyen Phuong Thao, representing the Organizing Committee.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The guests and students visited the booths with products from the Conference\u2019s sponsors.<\/em><\/p>\n

In the end, there was a panel discussion, with the participation of the Board of Scientists and the Organizing Committee, which discussed the latest trends in the field of Genome in Vietnam and around the world.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Members of the panel discussion were the keynote speakers and representatives from the Organizing Committee.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Assoc. Prof. Nguyen Thi Thu Hoa delivered bouquets and letters of appreciation to the chairs of each session, and members of the Organizing Committee.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Conference will be back in 2025 with more to expect in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
