Join us in Manchester on Thursday 25th June 2026 for the UK Human Functional Genomics Initiative Scientific Symposium.
Building on the momentum of the inaugural 2025 meeting at the University of Exeter, this symposium promises to deepen the conversation around how to translate genetic-variation into biological mechanism and, ultimately, human health impact.
What to Expect
Inspiring keynote and research talks from leaders in the field
Insightful discussions on academia and industry collaborations
A vibrant poster session showcasing cutting-edge work
Opportunities for networking and partnership building
Supporting Early Career Researchers (ECRs)
We’re passionate about making the symposium as inclusive and accessible as possible.
If you’re an early career researcher, this is your chance to present your work, build new collaborations, and connect with experts from across the UK and beyond.
We know that funding can be a barrier, so we’re taking steps to help:
Limited number of fully funded places if you don’t currently have access to your own funding. Please contact us directly at [email protected]
Travel and accommodation bursaries will be announced soon.
