The International Conference of the Portuguese Society of Genetics 2025, promoted by the Sociedade Portuguesa de Genética (SPG), welcomes everyone with an interest in Genetics. The program will cover a wide range of topics, with a particular focus on Animal, Plant, Microbial, Biomedical, and Evolutionary Genetics. The conference will feature renowned speakers who will share their latest breakthroughs in the field.
This year’s conference will be held at Instituto de Tecnologia Química e Biológica António Xavier (ITQB NOVA) at Oeiras.
