Welcome Message

We are happy and deeply honoured to host the 49 th Annual Meeting of the Indian Society of Human Genetics (ISHG 2025) and International Conclave on Neurogenetics at the Convention Centre, NIMHANS, Bengaluru, from January 20 - 22, 2025. NIMHANS, an Institute of National Importance, embodies the vision and mission ‘To be a world leader in the area of Mental Health and Neurosciences and evolve state-of-the-art approaches to patient care through translational research’. With its foundation built on the three pillars of patient care, teaching/training, and research, NIMHANS stands out as a beacon of excellence.

The three days conference will cover a wide range of topics, including new technologies and their applications and other research breakthroughs, highlighting the latest and most thrilling advancements in genetics and genomics for the current year. It will provide an ideal platform for sharing pioneering research findings, acquiring fresh insights, and staying abreast of the progress in the field.

We are delighted to extend a warm invitation to this premier academic event dedicated to expanding our knowledge and understanding of health and disease, fostering collaboration, and inspiring innovation in Human Genetics. ISHG 2025 features stalwarts in the field as keynote speakers and a diverse array of didactic lectures by national and international experts, in addition to a compelling panel discussion on 'Genetic Research in India: quo vadis?', young scientist presentations, oral and interactive poster presentations by budding researchers. ISHG 2025 promises to be one of the biggest academic feasts highly relevant to fledgling scholars and experienced academicians seeking to delve deeper into the latest advancements and collaborations in Human Genetics.

Bengaluru, often referred to as the Silicon Valley of India, is the hub for scientific and technological advancements and is home to a multitude of prestigious organisations fostering a culture of innovation. But beyond the academic realm, the city with its rich cultural heritage and natural beauty showcased in lush green parks and serene gardens, museums, historical monuments, and religious getaways, complemented by the theatre and entertainment industry, silk weaving and wood craftsmanship, multicuisine eateries, and cosmopolitan populace, notwithstanding the extreme and intense traffic, is a treasure trove waiting to be explored. As the capital of Karnataka, Bengaluru exudes energy, seamlessly blending tradition with modernity. Its warm hospitality and vibrant atmosphere make it an appealing destination that leaves visitors spellbound.

We heartily welcome distinguished researchers, clinicians, scholars, Life Science/biotech companies as well as diagnostic and pharmaceutical farms, and genome artists to join us at the largest scientific gatherings on Human Genetics in India. Let us together explore the current advances in genomic science, expand the frontiers of research in human disease and celebrate the exchange of knowledge as well as the spirit of academic excellence at NIMHANS, Bangaluru.
