We are proud to announce the titles
of the plenary lectures and the
well-known keynote speakers. The
versatile week program consists of
16 symposia under the main theme
“Information beyond numbers”
covering interesting and recent

genetic and epigenetic testing and
many others. We will also hear the
updates of the international collabo-
ration and the competitive presen-
