Drawing on a truly broad-reaching and international line up of experts, HGM 2026 promises to be both a dynamic forum for scientific exchange and a unique opportunity to bring together global expertise all focused on the subject of “Personalized Medicine and Therapeutics – Improving health”.
Athens is a modern and vibrant cosmopolitan city of over 5 million people and very unique throughout the world. A city where the ancient, the old and the modern is harmonically blent, a city surrounded by mountains and splashed by the Aegean Aea, a city known as the cradle of democracy, civilization, philosophy, arts, and home of one of Europe’s busiest ports. We welcome you to experience one of the most vibrant and attractive cities in the world and enjoy rich attractions, night life and gastronomy, to complement a comprehensive update on the most recent developments in Personalized Medicine.
We look forward to welcoming you in Athens very soon!
Yours sincerely,
